@pegan875 Patricia, thank you so much for sharing this information. There is a lot of info on this site on the topic of pet moving, but it is an ever-changing process, so your recent experience is very much appreciated.

@gwalt Thank you, Chris. I will definitely check into KLM. I appreciate your insights on the QE2, also. While I am certain that it would be lovely to take the Queen Mary 2, it would also be expensive. I just do not WAnt to put my Cats into cargo. Thank you Kind regards Pat

@pegan875 Hi Patricia, A couple of responses to your questions came to me via email instead of onto the forum. Pasting 1 of 2 here. This one from @gwalt "The only airlines I’ve found that will allow in-cabin pets into Dublin is KLM. That does not include their partner Delta so make sure there isn’t a Delta connection, even if it has a KLM flight number. They will allow in cabin for flights in the US. No more emotional support animals. QE2 WAs booked for over a year last I checked. Chris "

Good morning, not sure about ESA Category but all animals flying into and out of Ireland need to go in cargo, the specific airline doesn’t matter.

@demsee Yes there were. However perhaps they were all registered as ESA's? Perhaps they aren't allowing animals unless it's through a loop hole like that. If so, then they would have to fly them in the cargo which I believe they said only goes once a week. I haven't checked in with the other airlines recently though to see if they have restarted flying animals. Hopefully as the pandemic winds down, we can get back to things as normal. I think there were a couple other airlines flying animals though in the thick of the pandemic when I came, so hopefully a few more are flying them.

What is the latest? Are any airlines allowing small dogs in cabin from USA to Ireland? In cargo? thanks

@kharu8 Hi thanks for you comment. Do mean there were animals in the cabin on Aer Lingus from the US? I have called any they said the only WAy to bring and animal into ireland is by checking them in in the hold.

I have flown from NYC and LA to Ireland with dogs. Dogs that would have otherwise fit under the seat. Unfortunately they have to go as checked baggage or cargo. I have never quite figured out if this is some sort of international air transport law, or just airline policy. But, I WAs never able to locate a carrier that would take them in the main cabin. See Aer Lingus' policy on it here If the process is still the same, it could be due to how they are picked up by a 3rd party in Dublin, and taken immediately to the vet facility to get checked out.

@moveclubadmin Hello Liam A bit ago, you connected me with Niall WAlsh to help me transfer funds from the US to purchase property in Dublin. Although my small credit union could not wire the funds to Niall's company, he, in turn, referred me to a group that could handle everything. Then, small world, it turned out that the account manager had gone to school with my daughter--same class, small school, they took courses together. I wish to acknowledge you and the IMG in my thank-you note. I don't have your last name. Would you please share this information ...

... be handled by the government, but I'm hoping to learn more about living in Ireland generally through this site. I did live in Scotland for about 8 months when I WAs in college so I feel I have a pretty good sense of what Ireland will be like, though there will certainly be differences. We are very excited about this opportunity to experience a wonderful place like Ireland. Happy to be here! Megan
