    Hi all

    We are planning to move back to Ireland in the next year or so & I'm looking into work as an electrician there. I've lived in London nearly 20 yrs & did my qualifications via night classes over here. I have C&G 2392-10 & bs7671 17th edition & am currently registered with the JIB as an electrician (gold card). I have worked in the mainly industrial/commercial & retail sector with some domestic( private jobs).
    I'm looking into what I would need to register as a sparks in Ireland & how to get a Safe Pass.
    Also what would be the going rate for an site electrician per/hr?
    also what is the work situation like at the mo?
    We are moving to the Galway area.

    Any info would be great!!!!
    Ivan

    Not sure of the exact details for sparks here but in general C&G qualifications are recognised - you might have more education in the electrical forum.
    Safe pass is a one day course, probably cost about €100
    Other trades seem to be around €25 per hour in the Dublin area.
    Can't speak for the Galway area but Dublin has plenty of jobs for competent trades
