Calling all Irish People: I want to live in Ireland.?

Question

I love Ireland (never been though) and I'd love to live there someday. Is it nice? What's it like?

Answer 1

It's very expensive in southern Ireland. The Republic of Ireland is the most expensive country in the EU, i.e. this excludes EEA countries - Norway, Switzerland and Iceland.

dublin is nightmare to get around but it has its positive side.

Irish people are friendly and the population is mostly under thirty so there are lots of young people about having fun etc.

There are loads of jobs in the Republic, not very much in the north. We use the Euro in the south and GBP sterling is the currency of the north.

If you do move to Ireland don't stay in the south, Northern Ireland is a great place - most people don't realise this, they think it's all bombs and warfare but it's not. It's a really interesting country and I'm from Dublin, in the south. Belfast is a super city with loads of culture and the people have one of the most unique senses of humour anywhere. Go see!

Answer 2

Ireland is the land of opportunity and fulfillment. From its beautiful coastal beaches to rival Gran Canaria to its idyllic pleasant towns and villages, it truly is a place for both young and old. You should come and enjoy the Irish experience with a pint of Guinness in one hand and a shamrock in the other. The WEST IS THE BEST!

Answer 3

it always seems to rain there, but they have good beer

Answer 4

Belfast is the place to be

Answer 5

Hope you are not coming to live here (Ireland).If you are looking for a job you will have to fight it out with hundreds of Migrating Eastern Europeans,mostly Polish Latvian Lithuanians, who are very happy to work for min wage €8per hour.Put it into context that an average apt will cost you €275,000 to buy.Renting will cost avg €1000 pm.The weather may be mild but trust me it rains A LOT.We are currently having the wettest May on record.Apart from that itis a lovely place except for the traffic.Dont get me started on the traffic.......

Answer 6

Yes it is nice, i presume you mean the south of Ireland.  The winters are mild rarely getting below zero centigrade and mild summers usually in the 20s centigrade.  Beautiful people and scenery but not the most liberal of places outside of Dublin as the country is still very church based.  Houses are going up in price quite quickly but the income for professionals is quite good.

Answer 7

I'm from Belfast but now live in England. I only left because, at that time (20 years ago) the employment situation was so bad. The South and the North have so much to reccommend them. Dubin is so cosmopolitan but Belfast has caught up with it these days! Don't miss the Antrim Coast and the Giant's Causeway - something you will not see anywhere else on the earth!
