this role is open to EU passport holders only

The "EU" isn't one country. In a few even though you have to work through a third party you still have to do tax returns.

That's true but that is also simple.

The complicated bit is done by the accountants, all you do is enter your earnings in a box on the form and sign it.

What strange ideas you have.

It's nice that you wear your monolingualism as a badge of pride.

twll dyn pob sais as they say around here, there's tidy then, boyo, nice coat that jacket.

Or they didn't speak the relevant languages and weren't bothered as they wouldn't have been able to work in the EU anyway. They would have needed an EU passport, as they wouldn't have been able to travel to Europe without one. They also wouldn't have been able to register with the local authorities, or open a bank account, or rent a property.
Working in the EU has never been worth the hassle, except for those of you who don't know what a wife or girlfriend is, and would have to sort them out with a job in a country where they didn't speak the language. Which is probably quite a lot of you.

I think that you need to start taking your medication again pal.

I can point to any number of people living in the city where I am who come from South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Russia etc who all live in this EU country, have bank accounts, employment contracts and rent houses to live in and don't speak the language very well. They can travel to other EU countries for their holidays etc.

Time to fire off my Irish passport application I guess.

Mr C has been nagging me to do it for years but I've been reluctant as his family wasn't as Irish as his mother would like to make out.

Good luck, unfortunately during my ancestry trace, it appears that my Irish grandmother’s birth was not registered. (It was quite common in those days due to the cost of registration)
