    Full time, part time?

    Are going to actually be their employer or are they to be self employed, paying their own taxes, holiday pay etc? Are you providing transport or tools, insurance etc?

    No, not "hire" in that sense - I'm just a regular householder looking to get a tradesman to do a fairly routine job.

    Then you need to get a few quotes from recommended electricians. Personally I'd be willing to pay more for a redesigned electrical contractor. You know that a REC is insured and your work will be certified.

    Lads please note the charter on discussing rates of pay, thanks again. It's fine to discuss a quote you've received from supplier X, but someone getting paid X per hour content will be removed.

    Thanks

    Notice I never mentioned an hourly rate (they differ Grateley).

    It's always best to get a few quotes from people offering the exact same thing. REC standard is a great starting point.

    Pretty much this in a nutshell. Check safe electric.ie for a list of local REC in your area and go from there
