Hi Paddygoestoholyhead,
I am one of 4 Irish guys living and working in the UK, we would be interested in driving for an Irish firm here if anything is available, we have worked with Downtons and Dairycrest out of Gloucester, all Class 1 work and all of us have many years experience, email me if you have anything going,
All the best lad,
