Answer 2

I actually did this in 1991.  I had relatives in Ireland and I am very Irish with an Irish last name.  If you can do work in the hospitality industry and you don't need to make a lot of money you can get by.  If you want to email me I will tell you how i did it....oh yea my cousin is an accountant in Cork.  My email address is my user name at yahoo.com

good luck to you which is "ádh mór ort" in Gaelic

Answer 3

The first step, of course is to get passports.

Then secure jobs and apply for visas.  Your employers will have to help you find a place to live, unless you have other sponsors.

If you have a job and a place to live, you will more than likely get approved for your visa.

Answer 4

Unemployment in Ireland is high, but of course this depends on your professions/experience. Property isn't cheap, but this also depends on where you live now, and the cost of living you have now. As for visas/work permits, well this also depends on your profession and how "useful" you are! It would be easier to get a one year visa, and see how things go! Good luck!
