Can’t work in Ireland

LOL.


I have been challenged and searched along with our car in the shed on the harbour side in Douglas on the Isle of Man and had to empty the car out which also had my wife and two daughters in it, as well as being challenged at the airports in England and the IOM when flying. Now I presume that was for security rather than because I was entering or leaving the European Union, which I was, but the IOM is roughly in the middle of the Irish Sea, roughly where the new border will be between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK so potentially everyone will be stopped and possibly searched somewhere across that stretch of water, but we have to wait will see what happens after the end of this year regards who gets stopped and where, but it will be somewhere between Eire and the UK with NI being left as piggy in the middle.


So to get back to the original post the electricians in Eire have different qualifications which are graded differently as well, they also work to a different set of regulations and also use different materials and installation methods, they will also be in the EU unlike England and Wales, so I guess electricians from England and Wales won't just be able to catch a boat or fly over to work in Eire without a work permit and assessments of their skills, knowledge and qualifications. The guys in NI will probably have to jump through a few hoops as well to work down south, at the very least I would expect that they would have to get a qualification to show they understand the requirements of the Eire electrical regulations as should guys from England and Wales.


That seems quite fair.


Who knows what will happen with the Scots, but they have different requirements for those undertaking electrical work anyway.


And you should not go to work in the Isle of Man as an electrician without a work permit now, before any the Brexit stuff actually starts after the end of this year.  https://www.gov.im/categories/working-in-the-isle-of-man/work-permits/who-needs-a-work-permit/
