Which town/city is best to study, live and work in Ireland?

Question

I am a Graphic/Web designer and I am planning to take up a course in Software Development in Ireland to complement my design diploma and thus get better job opportunities as a web developer.

Can anyone give me some advice on what would be the best location to study and live in Ireland? Everyone seems to rush to Dublin but it looks very expensive.

What are the possibilities of part time jobs as Graphic/Web design in cities other than Dublin for students?
