Picking and Packing Jobs

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy

I’ve a nephew that’s on his summer holidays from school soon. He’s just said that he wants to find a job for the summer, to pay for his driving license/lessons and buy a little car. I suggested farm work, either fruit or veg picking and he was interested, but I’m having trouble finding a place that’s within cycle distance of his house, which is what he needs.

Anyone here point me in the right direction? He’s in Stamullen, Co Meath. Cheers.

They might be able to point you in the right direction.

The only issue is are you willing to drop him off at 6.30 or is he willing to cycle 10 miles?

He will have to pick some amount of strawberries to buy a car. Spent my youth at that in the days before minimum wage. 8p a pound.

No, it’s not possible for me but ten miles isn’t too bad a cycle.

I don’t think Whelan is interested in the job!
The place is state if the art though. Staff sign in via a fingerprint scanner yoke.
I got a tenner/hour when I was there. Summer after 5th year. Although I will say one thing, it’s full of foreigners.

Youd think itd be euros per yield rather than hour where you can slack off
