For renting you can visit www.daft.ie.

For work permits you can contact your embassy in Ireland most likely, you will find them in Dublin.

You will need a visa as well, when you request a visa you might as well inform about work permits.

A usefull link might be www.discoverireland.com

Here you can request a free brochure pakkage about visiting Ireland, although you re not going on a holiday, the information is free and contains usefull information, even the phonenumber is free of charge.

You can't just show up in a foreign country and expect the right to work. When you are questioned by immigration officials upon arrival, they will ask the nature of your visit. If you say "to seek work" then they can deny you entry if you do not have a residence and/or work permit already in-hand. Seeking work while in-country on a tourist entry is also illegal. You need to arrange work ahead of time, get the employer to submit an offer of employment to local authorities, then apply for that position together with application for work and residence permit. A decision typically takes 1-6 months. Employer must attest that position can not be filled by Irish, then EU labor in that order of preference. Good luck.

I have a friend that works in Dublin and loves it.  She said the job market is booming and finding work is usually not an issue.

Call the Irish Embassy, that's why they're here.  I've heard it can take up to 6 months to get a work visa though...

I say, GO FOR IT!  Good Luck!

Apply for your work visas. It can take a few months to get it as stated.
