I want to move to Ireland, but I've never been there, what are some good places to look into?

Question

I don't want to end up in like the Mississippi or Alabama of Ireland. Can someone who lives there give me A LOT of info please.

Answer 1

I spent part of April traveling in Ireland.  Galway is beautiful, but if you're looking for amazing, go to Kilkenny.  Dublin is great, but cost of living has skyrocketed in the last 5-10 years.  I suggest avoiding Limerick.  It's one of the larger towns, but is more industrial.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I don't have a lot of info, but i visited there a few years ago, and completely fell in love with Galway. You should check that out.

Answer 3

I do live in Ireland, so you could say I was biased if I said it was the best place to live, but it has been proven:

"Where will be the best place to live in 2005?   According to a global quality of life index  in "The World in 2005" published by Britain's "The Economist" newspaper the answer is Ireland.   Their assessment is based on research conducted by The Economist Intelligence Unit covering some 111 countries."

Answer 5

I am originally form Ireland and have been in the US for 16 years..First of all make sure you have somwher to stay..Housing in ireland is very expensive as is everything else. Stay with the big city's Dublin. Galway or Cork would probally be your best bet for ease of travrl and finding a place to stay..If I were you I find the cheapest ticket in the off season and spend a week or so travelling around and seeing if it is something you think you could do. I would hit all the irish websites I could to get information. Go onto Monster.ie I see what jobs are available ,send your resume in and see if you get any bite's.Contact your nearst Irish embassy and see what info they give you. Keep in mind that the average yearly salary is about $36,500 and then your whacked for about 35% tax!!!!  You would'nt jump into a pool without testing the water so why jump into moving 3,000 miles away if you've never been there!!!! AAhhh But there is always the adventure of it ?

Good luck and if you have any other ?'s let me know
