Answer 1

I'm from Ireland, so this is a biased reply!

Ireland seems to be very popular with australians on gap years, so you're likely to meet many of your countryfolk while here.

Ireland is a vibrant and wealthy country at the moment, and there seems to be plenty of work if you need extra cash. There's plenty to see and do, but beware, the cost of living is quite high, so food and other essentials are expensive.

Answer 2

It's funny that Australians want to come here on a gap year and irish people want to go tho australia on a gap year. I suggest www.tripadvisor.com You will find loads of great advice there if you go to the Ireland forums and ask some questions.
