Hi, I'm wondering roughly how much per sq metre stonemasons would be charging for doing a stone wall to the front of house (roadside), guillotined bagged limestone and I'm sure different parts of the country will vary...I'm in County Galway, thanks.
 
Maybe have a look on online trades man,you can put up jobs and trades will give you prices too complete the job.
I’d imagine your talking at least €300 plus a day

I'd imagine the actual cost will be a multiple of that. For context, our carpenter was charging IR£300 a day when we built our house 25 years ago. We never needed a stonemason but they always charged more than carpenters because it's more specialised work.

Time has moved on but in 2022 I was paying stone mason 65euro sqm. In Wexford traditional mason actually using lime mortar to front large house with sandstone.
 
I've seen labour only quotes from €50 to €200 depending on how much demand they're in. As with all trades, check out the quality of the work first.

It could go a couple of ways.
The trades man could quote for the entire job
The trades man could quote for labour only
The trades man could quote per Sqm so really depends on a lot of factors.
A good starting figure would be in the €200-€300 per day upwards.
If getting a company in would be a fair bit higher as overheads would need too be factored in.

Our carpenter charged us €500 a day in October of last year for labour.

2022
65sqm labour only
Sand- lime mortor-tumbled sand stone worked out at approx 55 euro per m2
So approx 120sqm labour and materials.
Using ordinary mortar probably would have worked out 10 euro sqm cheaper.
