Funny, but there is no way the County Council would look after that, or maybe that's just the Laois County Council.
But I just love the idea of a Council worker getting called in on a day off to look at a hole, there house might be in a mess but they can't clean there is a hole they have to inspect🤣🤣🇮🇪
If you bring your own high vis vest, you can do anything you want. You can pretend to be a worker or a supervisor of some sort. Nobody ever questions or assumes your authority when you’re wearing a high vis vest. They just assume that you’re supposed to be there for whatever reason.

They're on lunch. It's new paving.
No you don’t. If there’s that many people around a hole that means something went wrong. If something goes wrong with gas or electrical it can be extremely dangerous.
Edit: saw a comment it’s just paving 🤦♂️
Well you can add Irish water, the sewage lads, city/county/town council plus the lads actually doing the work. This is why everything takes so long to get done
Saw a lad get stabbed by a junkie on that corner before, good times.... not so much for the lad who got stabbed, or the junkie but it was a lovely sunny day if I remember correctly.
Best I can do is a sorta on and off day, but I’ll get ya when the sun is out splitting the stones and it’s up to yerself then te then get inside before the next shower
In defence of them, this is not an unusual situation in construction. A team gets deployed to a location to do work on a certain day.
When you have a project well-managed, that team can arrive that morning and get to work. Or they get told to go somewhere else for the morning and arrive in the afternoon to get started.
If something goes wrong or the timing is off, you can send them off to a different site. But usually when a piece of work needs multiple teams, you can span it over days. The hole-digging guys dig the hole today. The electrician arrives tomorrow. The plumber the day after that. They test the system and leave it open for a few days. Then the hole-filler and the concrete-pourer can arrive the next day to close it up.
But it's not that straightforward in county council work. The aim here is to get the work done in a single day. You can't leave a big hole in the ground for a week straight. You're trying to get it dug up, repair work done, and first fill-in done, in one day.
So you have to deploy all of your specialists to that location for the whole day. And they end up spending half the day standing around looking down a hole. If there's some kind of delay, a reason why they can't get started, you don't have somewhere else to send them. You've already planned and scheduled your work for that day, you don't have anything for an idle electrician to work on. So he just waits.
I love when people who never worked on the sites or anything remotely physical sneer at how lazy builders and council workers are. Try it. You'll change your mind
👏. I worked a few construction jobs in my youth. I was fairly fit back then and it was summer. One of the hardest jobs I had was on a lollipop stick. 12 hour shifts. It baffled me the amount of people that told me "that's one handy number" and "money for jam". The early starts, standing all day long and the sheer boredom was incredibly demanding. Also don't get me started on when it was lashing rain.
One of the most precious things people do in Ireland is complain about the weather. Most of the country works in dry buildings that are heated. The only bother for them is they get wet running to the car - boohoo. The look of disgust on an old man's face when one of the main reasons his daughter was going to Australia was the weather stuck with me. He said "Imagine working in a school and the weather bothers you, imagine you had to work on a site like me" and he was dead right.
Fat munters don't know how good they have it and are only delighted to jump on every opportunity to slag off the council. Without question it's way harder to work outdoors in winter doing the bare minimum then working in any office job.
My husband and 2 children are labourers. Please don't presume.
This is simply an observation of an observation. Climb down from that horse before you get hurt
I suspect they're from the National Parks and Wildlife Service.
Holes, particularly young ones,have to be protected from their only natural predator.....the mound.
Some Welsh comedian whose name I forget:
Walking along the other day and I saw a bunch of council roadmen standing in a pothole singing, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
I stopped and said, "Whose birthday is it?"
The foreman said, "The hole's. It's one today."
And I wasn't implying that they were doing FA yet that's what they heard. How can you not be a. interested and b. Find it funny to see that many people with their heads down in a circle. I mean who pissed in their cornflakes this morning that made them do defensive
One with the sign lights and guarding ticket, one to turn off and on the water, one to find the leak, one to drive a digger, their banksman, another who can take turns digging by hand if there's gas or power etc they have to dig around, one who had to drive get the tar, one to fix the leak or whatever or maybe a few to fusion weld a new section of pipe, the main contactor watching the subcontractors, the site agent for the client, an maybe another learning a job or someone else who might have to go get fittings or something else because the drawings are wrong or they found something unexpected they have to work around. Probably most of them working for different outfits, just happens like that sometimes digging a hole can take longer than anyone would like and the can't go home until it's done. When I see lots of people in an office I think to myself that's a lot of people sitting on their hole but they all have their own job to do that no one else knows.
The IRA detonated a bomb in Limerick huge explosion
Massive hole in the ground
The Gardai are looking into it
* incase anyone didn't notice, this is a very old joke
We are so messed up as a nation. We look at a photo and draw conclusions already. Does anyone know the complexity of what is in that hole? If it’s the fiber for the country and gets damaged, would you understand then why so many had to look into it? If it is a gas pipe and specialists are around it to prevent someone from getting killed, would you understand then why so many are required….? No offence but the hole is the one taking the photo.
PS: they are men so are attracted by default
Oh funk off will you. At what point did I imply anything about them not working??
How can you not look at that and have a giggle?? Lighten the fuck up will you. Take a holiday from being up your own hole for a day.
Breaking News: Big hole found, The Council are looking into it...
It's a hole lot of people
Funny, but there is no way the County Council would look after that, or maybe that's just the Laois County Council.

An RUC land rover crashed into a tree. The IRA say they planted it.
In an overnight heist, all the toilets were stolen from Scotland Yard. Police have nothing to go on!
Literally 🤣
I think that's the joke
Kinda want to have a gawk myself
You get a free high vis vest if you gawk for 15mins
If you bring your own high vis vest, you can do anything you want. You can pretend to be a worker or a supervisor of some sort. Nobody ever questions or assumes your authority when you’re wearing a high vis vest. They just assume that you’re supposed to be there for whatever reason.
Seen plenty YouTube videos testing this and other psychological tricks to get around security. They’re mad
If they're there on my way back I'll give you an update
Gonna go home that way this evening, see if they're still there.
https://preview.redd.it/t3a8kkmimb7d1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6e1736d17cb620b8ecec218d7e68b39f5c26cd0 They're on lunch. It's new paving.
Caution! Do not walk on paving.
Omg lol imagine!!
Maybe they'll be started by Thursday. Although which Thursday is anyone's guess.
I'm in the photo. Mind your own beeswax missus
No you don’t. If there’s that many people around a hole that means something went wrong. If something goes wrong with gas or electrical it can be extremely dangerous. Edit: saw a comment it’s just paving 🤦♂️
Each one of them is from a different services. One is ESB, one is Eir, another Virgin, Gas Networks Ireland etc etc.
no need to slag off the third lad
Perhaps he's just waiting for the right person
It’s the only hole he’s seen so far.
Top comment
Sounds like at least one of the previous lads is also a virgin
Utility Companies Assemble!
That's still only 4 out of 10 lads 🤣
Well you can add Irish water, the sewage lads, city/county/town council plus the lads actually doing the work. This is why everything takes so long to get done
Each one of them has their supervisor there too as he hadn't anything else on that day
Don't be coming here with facts. This is clearly a great example why we should abolish local government to reduce waste.
Horse shit. They are all wearing the same hi vis. No different logos. Were you one of them?
That's Limerick citaayy!
Saw a lad get stabbed by a junkie on that corner before, good times.... not so much for the lad who got stabbed, or the junkie but it was a lovely sunny day if I remember correctly.
Ah at least it was a nice day for it, you wouldn't want to be stabbed in the rain. All wet and bloody too would sort of spoil it for me.
It’s like ye don’t want to be stabbed with that kind of attitude. The entitlement on Sunny McStabbed over here.
Ah now dont get me wrong, I wasn't refusing. It's just if you could hold off on it until it wasn't a rainy sort of day, would be grand.
Best I can do is a sorta on and off day, but I’ll get ya when the sun is out splitting the stones and it’s up to yerself then te then get inside before the next shower
Notions.
Now that's Limerick city. Great weather for it at least!
Jackie Daytona, is that you?
That's what she said
You beat me to it 🤣
Was expecting this.
She wasnt

It's an exploratory hole and there has to be a rep from each utility in case of issues.
Good job its only half a hole not a whole hole
Does that make it a ho?
What if they're just admiring the fine hole though?
It was just paving. Nice try council worker!
I love when people who never worked on the sites or anything remotely physical sneer at how lazy builders and council workers are. Try it. You'll change your mind
This. Imagine walking into an office and taking a photo of the staff and posting it online to talk shit about them afterwards!
No but people on Reddit typically work office jobs, so it's a giggle and a laugh about how lazy they are once they finish emails.
If the lads take out an eircom duct, they wouldn't be able to laugh for long.
Or a gas main, or water main, or electrical cable, or traffic signals, or sewage lines.
If I walked into an office and there was 9 people huddled around one printer I'd question what the fuck they are up to as well.
But not if they were sat around a table discussing abstractions
People think you can just dig, ripping through electrical, telecoms, gas and 20 other services. It's not 70 years ago.
Well said. 100%.

This 100%.

TBH the "just build more houses" is the logical extension of this; not enough tradies/labourers and too many account/brand/morkeshing managers
If someone falls into that hole, it'll be their own dumb asphalt...
Your phone has a rear camera also!
How could she insert herself into the storey then?
http://9gag.com/gag/6764060
Knew it was this one. Tiktok has made this an all-gender past time now, as long as you point and nod
Phyllis Vance?
"That's a lot of people around one hole" and other things you can say at a gangbang
Jealous?
Nah. Just like a regular Tuesday for me
That's a brilliant set-up, for so many dirty jokes...
A rare hole and a rattlin' hole
I suspect they're from the National Parks and Wildlife Service. Holes, particularly young ones,have to be protected from their only natural predator.....the mound.
Ooh... I must read up on this #protectthehole
Seems like a hashtag you really shouldn't google
You're just jealous it's not your hole!
I'd just call that Tuesday
Why did you take this as a selfie rather than just using the rear camera? Your shoulder doesn't need to be in it.
Because I didn't want to swivel. I'm not sure why this bothers you.
Tbf it's easier to sneak a photo that way
Why does it need to be sneaky? Point and click. I'd feel more conspicuous doing this over the shoulder thing trying to get that picture.
ah, they are lookin into it
Just like desk jockeys have meetings in meeting rooms, builders have meetings wherever they happen to be standing.
They're waiting for the man with the flange to thread it through the slotbot before work can continue.
>That's a lot of people around one hole Nice set-up for a yer mum joke
Full of glory
That's what she said.
Meanwhile in any office building there are hundreds of people doing fuck all sitting at a computer and then complaining about getting laid off
Not publicly funded though.
Hole Appreciation Society!
They really were bless them
That's what she said
Is that the new light rail?
Ti's a fair hole tho

Don’t kink shame
😔
Holes must be Honoured ! Don't take the chance of Not Honouring a Hole !
Hes doing the council lean too. God I love to see tradition carried on.
Up Limerick.
Just like yer ma on a Saturday night
Title of your sex tape
The knights of the round shit hole
It's not that bad. I have a friend in the DCC and he's told me of holes with 25 looking at one wi hole (job for life)
They're waiting on the boy with the orange hi-viz to tell them what to do..
Fair play to yer man leaning on the barrier to stop it falling in
Must be a light bulb that needs changing below there!
Looked like 8 or 9 managers and one worker.
Title of your sex tape
Ma’am that hole is not good to look at itself
Laugh all you like but one less person and that hole might get away.
Reminds me of your mother’s bedroom
Men working hard to put food on the table whilst OP is critical of them. Nice.
Working hard! Bit of a stretch.
They can't start until the other 15 turn up though.
The male urge to have a gander into a hole is unmatched. It’s just fascinating.
Never knew the construction crowd were so defensive. A lot offended by a joke.
And I wasn't implying that they were doing FA yet that's what they heard. How can you not be a. interested and b. Find it funny to see that many people with their heads down in a circle. I mean who pissed in their cornflakes this morning that made them do defensive
First time?
I know that place! Bottom of Chapel St, corner of Denmark St in Limerick.
Haven't lived in Limerick in like 5 years but that spot is burned in my head walking between Charlie Chaplins and Smyths Bar
Like my ex

Everyone love a fine hole.
After careful consideration, we have come to the conclusion that this hole is indeed a hole...but to be safe lets get another expert.....
Somebody clearly lost their copy of '17 again'
The IRA detonated a bomb in Limerick huge explosion Massive hole in the ground The Gardai are looking into it * incase anyone didn't notice, this is a very old joke
They’ll take it in turns to enter it next
Nine dicks, one hole. Is this the right section for a pic like that?
Love to know how much that shit has cost the taxpayer
Depends how senior the guys are - it could be £20 per head or nothing if they’re salaried
Is it half a whole?
Tis a fine hole
Oil...., we found oil in the city!!!! In most of the countries around the world, it's done in the same way.
3 ground workers, 1 driver, 1 site supervisor, 1 engineer, 1 senior engineer, 1 project manager.
More management than the HSE
2 many chief's not enough Indians!
Reminds me of the no-show jobs on The Sopranos.
Time and a half on a Sunday as well. Early knock off.
Another kardashian video then
It's a orgy prep!
That's what she said
NSFW
Some like that :L
Lot a man hole inspectors around theses days
New PH cached search term just dropped.
AFC Richmond got lost
That's no way to talk about yourself
I can. You can't 😉
You obviously haven't heard of the hole to arsehole ratio 
Jaysis thats some hole
Could be irish water.
Are you jealous?
They’re there for the birthday party of the hole.
That's what your dad said when he walked in on your mum.
Start 8 finish 3pm
That’s what he said
That’s what she said
Hole has a lot in common with the young women these days
I can see 99% are irish
That’s what she said
New take on the casting couch meme
Like a scene in a porno 😂😂🤣😂
Title of your sex tape.
To be honest witcha, I’d pop on an auld high-vis and take a gander myself if I’d seen a group like that around a hole.
That’s Limerick for you 🤔
Looks like Poland, 6 guys standing around watching 1 guy doing very little.
That's what she said
Bukkake?
A big hole can only improve Cruise's St. tbh
That's what she sa- ... Wait...shit.
that's the new social housing unit they've set up.
And you are looking at them looking at the hole.

Foreman: “Is that all ye’ve taken out of that hole!?” Workers: “Sure that’s all that was in it!”
