    any thing to add?

    Might be useful to add something rather than just posting a link. This is a discussion forum after all

    it's interesting reading, not a huge amount of info on the jobs though. but:

    The construction workforce for the Gorgon Project is Fly-In, Fly-Out (FIFO). This means commuting to Barrow Island by plane and living in on-site accommodation villages during the work cycle.
    Working a FIFO roster is a lifestyle choice and may not suit everyone. Whilst there are benefits of higher remuneration, new work opportunities, meeting new people and being part of a small community, FIFO workers can also face unique challenges and pressures with the lifestyle. Some of these challenges and pressures include decreased communication, change in routines, separation from family and isolation. Before considering work on Barrow Island, it may be worthwhile to discuss the FIFO arrangement and the possible impacts with those closest to you.

    and:

    Depending on the scope of work, different contractors may operate different working arrangements. However as an indication most contractors work ten hour days with a half day off every second Sunday. Potential employers can provide specific details of work arrangements.

    there was a similar thread in FIFO in the oz/nz forum.

    not sure how much it will affect the irish office. i hope it'll boost their profits but i'd imagine most of the workforce will be recruited locally i.e. you wont be going to clonmel for an interview.
