Have been there on work trips a few times. Income tax is very high and a pint is 10 euro.

im still working at the moment but nobody knows what the future holds,
has anyone here ever worked in norway in construction,there's very little on the net about it
It would be a huge shock to the system of a certain breed of Irish breakfast-roll-and-tay swilling construction worker, but sure it's worth a go....language problems not withstanding.

Most of the younger generation are more or less fluent English speakers surely?

They are, but I was more talking about any reading or writing needed in work, etc...plus the actual act of living there, as opposed to existing there.

PS You need to register with the immigration board within a week or so of arriving, and don't expect to be able to open a bank account. You'll be grand.

Aye. The Norsk are super-human-fit, is all I'm saying. I'd imagine that's down to the cross-country skiing and hiking obsessions the nation 'suffers' from They wouldn't take very kindly to slacking, constant tay-drinking or smoke breaks. Be prepared to work very hard, don't expect any 'craic' and you'll do fine.
