What's it like living in Cork, Ireland?

Question

I keep hearing that Ireland is very expensive, is this also true of Cork?

What's the quality of life like?

Answer 1

the city is a lot smaller than dublin so i don't think it's as expensive. all the big shops are there, and there's also two reasonably large shopping centres outside the city, mahon point and wilton, both with tesco. the countryside and the smaller towns are lovely, and very scenic. all in all, cork is (and i'm not biased at all!) the best county in ireland, in my opinion.

Answer 2

It is like sitting on the neck of a bottle of Irish whisky.He he he.Yes Ireland is expensive and getting more expensive every day.

Cork is very expensive that's why they are replacing cork with plastic and s***w tops to seal wine bottles.He he he.

Apart the jokes,there is a very valid reason to live in Ireland:The Country is beautiful and so are the people.enough to make you forget the cost of living.

Ireland is an amazing place to live. Slightly expensive, but yet still one of the top countries to live in.
