Looking to live in ireland?

Question

i would like to rent a house in dublin or near for easter but i have never been to ireland and am not sure if they have the same law as we carry out in britain. southern ireland is all euros and am not sure if it is all foreign around there. so im worried that it'll be totally different.

also does anyone know about moving to ireland. and how to rent a place. i have enquired to soem estate agents over there but i will have to view these properties so im hoping i can go down for weekend to view all of them and decide.

what else is there to do? i have two babies if it helps with answering

Answer 1

that sounds about it but if you have any problems try www.google.ie (the irish version of google)

It shoudn't be too difficult to rent a place in ireland (my dad's just bought a house out there)

Good luck

Answer 2

As regards quality of life, Ireland can offer an excellent standard, but it comes at a price. There are various properties to rent and you can expect to pay up to 1000euro (£670) per month for furnished accommodation. This applies to places like Dublin, Cork or other city areas. Living in the smaller towns/villages would be cheaper.

Answer 3

to find accommodation go to www.daft.ie or www.myhome.ie  the second site had a rental and purchase site.  

Are you asking if its so different from England?  Not really, same TV channels, same side of the road, same language (just about ha ha), I lived in UK for years,  one of the quirkiest differences is when you are doing your weekly food shop the older women on the tills look at what you are buying and ask you 'is that nice love, how do you cook it'  etc.

Kids should love it too. there tends to be a bit more freedom for kids here then in UK. A friend was telling me her neighbour moved over from Brighton and her kids love it.

Answer 4

Hi. I am Irish living in Dublin but my boyfriend is British and living over there and wanting to move to here, so I will share what I know with you. Firstly Dublin is an expensive place to live. The nearer the city the higher the rent. I am lucky that my rent is very reasonable. Landlords are usually really nice. The basic cost of living, like food and everyday necessities are expensive. Nappies will be expensive. consider the recyclable ones available in Boots. They're real easy and half the price. Anyway, a good website is www.oasis.gov.ie and there are lots of sectons to explore on it. For property there is www.daft.ie and there is a section moving to Ireland on one of those. We don't have to pay council tax like you do. When renting you pay your monthly rent, your utility bills and you pay for bin tags each week and every year. Not sure what you mean by "all foreign". we have alot of eastern europeans, africans and asians but there are still lots of us irish people about. You will adjust easily to using the euro. We all had to. It's not hard. There are parks in the city and lots in the suburbs for bringing your little ones to. Shopping is great. Transport is not great but improving. Depends where you're living really. I don't see any reason why you would have a problem settling in here. You can give it a go for a while. Best of luck to you.

Answer 7

You have to clarify what you mean.  You're wondering if Ireland has "the same law as we carry out in Britain."  What "same law" are you talking about?  We have to know what British law you're mentioning before we can tell you.  

Ireland was under British rule for 800 years, so it's very similar to Britain if that's what you're worried about.  Why do you want to move to a country you've never been to before and know little about?  Surely you should have a few holidays there first to make up your mind.
