Obviously it's important. I was only taking the piss.

Took all of 3 weeks to clear one section! Sorry get p**hed off at people accepting this sort of situation

Uh, rrrrright, so a guy working from 7pm to 7am will get paid the same as someone who works 7am to 7pm? Not on your nelly. There would be a big overtime and night-time allowance to be paid. The FAI are too bloody scabby to pay that....

My arguement is about why it takes so many days. In the current situation, they don't work nights. In my proposed scenario of doubling the number of people, they don't work nights either but they get the work done twice as fast. this can be repeated to 3x, 4x, 10x with the only limitations being the co-ordinating power of the site boss and the amount of room (plenty in a stadium).
Ever hear how quickly a cargo ship with expensive cars can be loaded/unloaded in say Singapore? Compare that with Dublin docks and you'll see just how long a ship sits there. Or closer to home, what happens on a building site when there is only 1 week to go?
You are correct, time is money, but time saved can be worth so much more than overtime etc.

Nope, not a Gringo.....actually I'm a Guinness drinker, but if I'm drinking lager I'd go for Harp if available, or failling that a pint of Probably.
