From what I hear Oz is just like Britain, but better weather and an incredibly long way from Europe
They also produce some cutting-edge TV series.

Im 100% Irish (born in NI so have british passport) so bricklaying is second nature to me lol, been doing it part time since i was 14!
I think i will aim for Oz as it sounds like it would be the most practical choice!
Just want to thank you guys for helping me make this decision, dont know what i would have done had i not found this website!

Im allowed to apply as i am an irish citizen also, im pretty sure that if i was 100% british i would not be allowed to apply because of too many immigrants from the uk i think.

It's where you (or your spouse or sometimes your parents) were born. Born in NI with only a UK passport is perfectly valid for DV.
