No Irish people doing Deliveroo/Just Eat?

My nephew does it in Belfast. Gets about £60 a night at the moment but says that's higher than average because home demand has shot up during covid.

Looked at it myself here just last week. The big barrier is insurance. Have a Google for Hire and Reward insurance in Ireland. I'm guessing that most of the lads doing it aren't fully covered.

In answer to the OP's original point: if I lost my job and needed to pick up another job to tide me over very quickly, I'd probably rather cycling around delivering things than most other service industry jobs. I always sort of wanted to be a cycle courier when I was younger; this is basically the same thing (though with a lot less bohemian cachet).

Our just eat delivery guys where we live now are always Irish.. I think there's one guy from India but other than that they're Irish!

The lad was making about 150 a week prior to get through life while he was in college FT. Hardly the same.

If thats the case then he should definitely have been declaring it as he wouldnt have paid any tax and he would be on the books for working. Serves him right.

While Deliveroo say they vet their employees there are places online where you can buy a Deliveroo account so it looks like it's someone else who is working and you don't need to prove you're legal then.
