Can anyone advise roughly what i could expect to pay a casual labourer/construction worker for a day's work, cash in hand, for roof repair/general maintenance
Please bare in mind that paying anybody in cash is illegal and defrauds the exchequer. It also does impairable damage to legitimate small business that pay tax and insurance etc.

AFASIK, it's perfectly legal to pay someone in cash. It is the trades persons responsibility to pay their own taxes & look after their obligations to revenue.
A good roofer will set you back somewhere between €200 and €400 per day (probably €200 cash)
I don't understand that advice. Why "cash" Why would it be so much cheaper if cash payment is involved?
forgive me for saying so, but a lot of peopleon this site talk an awful lot of rubbish when it comes to discussing the value of the self employed on a day basis. it takes a proper tradesman longer to qualify than a garda, a prison officer, as long as a teacher so forth, you get the drift, think of their wages, the trades has to pay his own holiday time, bank holidays,full prsi, pensions, health cover etc, commercial indsurance on his vehicle, public liability insurance, advertising, running costs on a van which are considerably more than a normal car, and for an added bonus just before or shortly after christmas you have to pay an accountant to tell you how much to give the government. i know alot of you guys and ladies are of course looking for a bargain but bear in mind the tradesman ends up with about half what you give him . AND you do not let a general worker or labourer near a roof. regardless of his capability , if you do you are the contractor, if he gets injured you may not have a roof over your head that needs fixing

Can I just ask, totally off the topic, so sorry, but what does 'IMHO' and AFASIK' mean, I am sick of seeing them pop up and not know!
come and work in London for a few weeks, nobody gets this kind of money mentioned here. you would be lucky to be getting £120 a day before tax for qualified trades.
these rates in Ireland are far too high. everyone has gotten used to earning 1,000 + a week over there and that day has truly gone. wake up and smell the coffee.
