Loop Ceiling Light

[Risteard]

Indeed, as @Matthewd29 has pointed out minor works (http://www.walshelectrical.ie/electrical-services.html#minor-works) are not illegal. However any work in a special location (e.g. bathroom) are always Restricted Electrical Works and never minor works, so for example replacing a pull cord like-for-like is a criminal offence if the person doing it is not a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC).

The photograph shows that the works in question are not in a bathroom, however.

R u still hung over. There are regulations in place that prevent work on electrical installation if under the influence of alcohol or other substances with the potential to limit mental or physical aptitude.

No problem with you changing a light fitting or doing small simple electrical jobs in your own house, but do it sober.

Not quite, you are allowed to change fittings/fixtures and even move lights depending on the amount of alteration taking place to the circuit.

OK. Thanks for the clarification.

Anytime...
Just remember that the above is the best guess as to what the cable are.
Only testing of the cables will confirm things.

As I mentioned earlier the twin brown is always the switch drop.
