    Just wondering in what sector users of Boards are working in.

    Is it representative of Ireland as a whole, or is a little skewed towards one area or the other, and are there knock on effects that go along with that.

    You know that 'Public Sector/Government' is probably bigger than most of the categories that you listed?

    I probably should have listed government, but if you're a public sector worker in the planning department of the LA, then you're working in the construction sector, no?

    I'll see can I edit the poll.

    Edit:
    Seems I can't actually edit it... can a mod maybe add an option for Government/Civil Service

    I'm a voluntarily unemployed teacher while I'm trying to get an IT business going. So I guess I can tick three boxes.

    How many bags of turf would you get out of a barley field, a forest, or a lake?

    I think most people realised you cut turf once you mentioned it here for the 7000th time.

    Damn right! We, the turfcutters of Ireland, brave midges, getting bogged and occasional asscrack sunburn to keep you warm in your bed at night, and we deserve to be recognised for it.
