A UK firm is advertising for Irish workers to take up jobs building the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station. Earlier this month the Irish Independent revealed concerns over British construction poaching Irish-based construction workers who are currently locked out of their jobs. “We’ve been losing skilled workers, especially carpenters, dryliners and facade specialists. The Bylor advertisement campaign for Irish workers points at that the project is just one hour away from Bristol airport “with regular flights from Dublin and Belfast”. Hinkley Point, in Somerset, was one of eight sites identified for a nuclear power station in 2010 by the British government.
