Ireland help! Possibly moving there.?

Question

I have a few questions that need answers, only honest answers no pointless ones.

Cell phone companies with international calling?

Electronic stores?

About how much utilities (water, sewage, ect.) cost?

Car companies?

Gas price?

How to find a job if you are a LPN (nursing carrer)?

Location of some of the hospitals?

How old you have to be to hold a job?

Im sorry this is such a long list of things!

Answer 1

I highly recommend SKYPE.com for calling international.  My fiance and i are always calling each other (NY to Ireland) and it would normally cost a fortune.  All you need with skype is a special headset and a credit card to set up an account.

If you're moving to Ireland, check out this site.  This guy and his wife did it and dealt with all the hassles (and joys) and then he put everything he found out on a website.  I'm also moving to Ireland and it's like my moving-to-Ireland bible...

Answer 2

Cellphone : O2 Meteor and Vodafone

Electronic strore : Currys, Dixxons, PC World

Utilities : Water is free in dublin, elect. ESB

Car Companies : Same as the rest of Europe.

Gas price : 1.1 € a liter

Nurses are in high demand, so high that Ireland recruits heavily in the Philippines.

Hospitals everywhere...

And I would say you have to be 18 and qualified to be a Nurse.

Answer 3

Booms pretty much answered everything but Nurses earn around 30/48k euro a year. Cost of living is quite high though.

Answer 4

Cell phone companies with international calling?

All of them. You might need to get a bill phone (i.e. with a contract instead of pre-paid). The mobile phone companies are O2, Vodafone, Meteor and 3

Electronic stores?

Everywhere

About how much utilities (water, sewage, ect.) cost?

First, Ireland is like most other places (e.g. the US, UK) in these regards.The specifics will differ whether you are in an Urban or Rural area, and if Rural how remote.

Water in all buildings is from the mains. There are no water charges.

Sewage in cites goes tot he mains, in rural areas to septic tanks.

Waste is collected from your home and there is now extensive provision for recycling. Waste charges are about €300-500 a year depending on how much you produce and where you live.

Heating is usually either natural gas, oil or electric. For info on electricity see http://www.esb.ie and natural gas http://www.bordgais.ie

Car companies?

Like for renting? Avis, Hertz, Budget all the usual ones.

For buying? Most popular cars here would be Toyota, Ford, Opel (GM), Volksvagen, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Volvo, BMW and so on..

Gas price? Average price per litre of unleaded fuel in April of this year was €1.11 - not cheap but one of the cheapest countries in the Euro currency zone for fuel.

How to find a job if you are a LPN (nursing carrer)?

For jobs in the public sector health service, see http://www.publicjobs.ie/en/healthservic... or http://www.hse.ie/en/Careers/. The public health service in Ireland employs over 100,000 people.

Location of some of the hospitals?

See http://www.answers.com/topic/list-of-hos...

Major hospitals are in Cork, Dublin, Limerick, Galway, Waterford.

How old you have to be to hold a job?

It depends. Hours of work can be limited until a person reaches 16 I think. For most full time jobs the answer is 18 or older.

See http://www.citizensinformation.ie/catego... for more information on moving to Ireland.

Answer 5

the one thing I know about Ireland is that Artists do not have to pay income tax.
