Despite some pretty savage personal set backs, there may also be other 'archaeology' wins too.
'Pay peanuts and you get monkeys' seems to be the basic premise here, but that's not how its working out in Ireland. As well as the external market we're all concentrating on to bring in work, there's also an internal one we engage with in order to resource those jobs. As supply has floored in the former it has hit the roof in the latter. Staff grades may well be fixed, but the personnel assigned to such tasks are downwardly flexible. If peanuts are the only thing going, even the monkeys get squeezed out of the action. If there was any work to actually do (!) I foresee even the most inconsequential of jobs staffed by a dream-team of fallen heroes...
