Hmm. It actually seems to be the opposite problem in Ireland. Lots of civil servants not implementing policies, failing to implement standards, allowing developers to conduct archaeological methodology, refusing to prosecute those that do not comply with old laws (the bits of the National Monuments Act that haven't been amended/removed in recent years) refusing to implement and control standards of work, and a dearth of work for the surviving companies who tender for fixed price contracts at ridiculous and unaffordable prices to push each other over the edge into the liquid fire of oblivion.
Is this what you meant by "Ireland: I rest my case?"
If you have only had 4-5 months with no work, be glad you're not an Irish archaeologist. Expatriation has been standard now for a couple of years, and is set to continue for several more.
