... be good for a newcomer to know about, and might help them settle in their new home. I'm going to keep it easy and just ask for 1 - 3 suggestions. Here are mine: 1. I'm going to go with a Cork theme as this is the City I am most familiar with. The first place I think everyone living in Cork should know of is Fitzgerald's Park, which runs along the River Lee near UCC. Whether you like a nice casual stroll, a great place for your kids to play, a nice place to read a book under a tree or a place to catch an occasional outdoor performance, Fitzgerald's Park won ...

... languages (english, french, chinese) and I need to find either work or volunteer opportunities in public health, specifically women's health and advocacy. Does anyone know which cities would be our best bet? -we would love a more progressive City maybe with a university? -good public transit or WAlkability would be great. -It would be really helpful to know which cities have a lower cost of living. Thanks so much!

If you're a cycling enthusiast, check out cycleIreland.ie. They have tons of great info, and what could be a better WAy of exploring your new surroundings than getting out on your bike. You can download their app for a few euro, or if you just WAnt to get some ideas, then their website seems to have plenty of info for free. Example loops The Old Head of Kinsale, Cork Gap of Dunloe, Kerry Phoenix Park, Dublin

We absolutely loved Glendalough, my husband WAs super annoyed with my constant photo-snapping haha! We've also enjoyed Phoenix Park and Marlay Park, too (we were just there for the Samhain Haunted Forest WAlk). I LOVE this site for finding local activities for families, as well. It's updated frequently.

... be paid out of pocket. New WAter charges, a relatively new property tax, TV license fee etc. Here's some of the text of my most recent conversation with @soju4321 who's concerned about the cost of living in Ireland: soju4321: "Coming from CA and living in Ireland, how comparable are the cost of living/monthly expenses between the two? E.G. Rent/utilizes/car insurance (transportation) / medical insurance? What scares me is all other expenses in Ireland such as coal. In CA we hardly use the heater during the winter. Tv tax, owner credit card and back accoun ...

... citizen with five years work experience as a digital marketing specialist. For the most part, I have been optimistic about this move/finding a job in Ireland as I do strongly believe I possess a skill set that's in high demand, especially in Dublin, being the tech hub that it is. That said, I am also trying to be realistic and understand that Dublin is extremely expensive and finding a job is no jog in the Park. I have some self-employed income, so my plan is to find part-time work in Dublin or wherever, and work for myself the rest of the time. I have appl ...

... or small as others around. Some of the villages are very tiny and inclusive so as an outsider may be difficult to make close friends. However, it all comes down to becoming involved in the local community. If you are social and WAnt to get involved you should have no problem making friends. The house we are renting is a holiday home on a golf course, so there is a mix of permanent residents and hotel guests. The upside is that there is a playground on the grounds as well as tennis courts, swimming pools, and other rec facilities which our kids already love ...

Hey Tim! Welcome to the community. Glad to have yourself and the family onboard. Hopefully you'll find some of that craic here 🙂 That's cool you've been able to pass on citizenship to your daughter through her great Grand parents. You had to have been a citizen before she WAs born for her to qualify, correct? Ireland certainly is an attractive option for raising kids. The education is great, and quality of life for families is generally very good. Sounds like Molly is also in for a jet setting lifestyle 🙂 lucky her. As you probably already know, Dublin ...

My wife and I are intending to move to Ireland for 1 year to visit my daughter and son-in-law and our Grand babies (all US citizens). I've noticed that many people seem to be WAiting until they get to Ireland to apply for Stamp 0 approval. We are intending to lease a house for a year, so that doesn't seem appropriate for us. We don't WAnt to sign a lease until we're sure we can stay. Does anyone have experience applying from the US? Is hiring an attorney helpful? How did you find your Irish accountant to certify your financials? And the police report? How d ...

Hi all Hoping for some advise, My family and I moved to the Caribbean 12 months ago and during this time I have received a promotion which allows remote work. It is essentially a World Wide company but my payroll will remain in Grand Cayman were I reside. We are and Irish family and would like to know the options for residing in Ireland whilst working remotely.... how would payroll or Tax work.... bare in mind we pay Zero tax on our salary in Cayman currently (but the cost of living cancels-out the “perks”) Its a great job and opportunity but we would love to know if remote work whilst living in ireland makes sense....
