Very unlikely mate, Sorry. Most of that work is done by labourers from the Indian Sub-continent...

...The situation in construction appears to be very unstable that even QS and Engineers are worried about whether they will have a job. If you (and they) already have a job back in Eire I would be very wary about coming over here right now.

Sorry

If you are an EU citizen and a common laborer wanting to make more money then I would suggest Norway. Sure it has it's downsides. But plumbers, scaffolders and such live a middle-class living there. You'll work less and be paid more. You will just have to suck it in and deal with long, cold, dark winters. But heh, that's why they invented binge-drinking.

Yeah, but the difference is they consume in 2 nights what it takes you guys 5 days to consume.

Yeah. I lived there almost two years and I don't even ski!

Personally, I liked the culture in Germany better. However, it's really hard to get a work permit for Germany since the unemployment is so high. It was 11% when I left.
Otherwise, I would have suggested you hang out in a Biergarten with the Germs.
