    I'd like to hear more than your say-so on that

    I was doing it 10 years back and so was everyone else.

    You're prob not aware but neutrals at switches were originally for the convenience of the contractor in wiring downlights and luminaires .Contractors didn't start doing it for the benefit of the customer.

    My Say?

    You arent even aware the ESB crimp lines. Have you ever seen the mains feed into a site ?

    Neutrals are non normal. just because you were doing it doesnt mean anyone else is. Its just not a normal practice in ireland. I dare ya to say how many times you see a neutral line in a domestic install retro. (including recent builds)

    Have to say I come across neutrals at light switches fairly frequently. Mostly houses built in last 15yrs or so.

    ESBN do crimp solid conductors. This is common practice with aluminum conductors.

    Thanks I wasn't aware, I was thinking more of the service cables which would be stranded and flexible cores
