Hey Kate, According to this, it's €120 outside Dublin. My sister-in-law took an empty minivan and drove up last year from Cork. Depending on what you're buying though, this might not work. 120 doesn't sound so bad if you're getting a household load worth of stuff.

REally helpful thread. WE are moving over soon, and because I don't need to have the container on the far end, I am thinking to use youpackweship.com, who will send me a crate or small container, I will pack it myself and then unpack it on the far end. I'm thinking to do it this WAy largely to save money. I think I can get about 240 cubic feet done for about $5000, going from WAshington DC to Galway. Curious as to whether others think that getting your own container might be even cheaper than that. It would nice to have a small container for storage ...

Hi John, I didn't prepare any spreadsheet. I just submitted the Ulster Bank statement which has over Euro 120,000 in my current account, and Canada income from government. I WAs trying to use an accountant, but he said I have PSC, Ulster bank account, Irish driver license etc. he didn't see any reason to hire an accountant, unless INIS declined my application on another reason. Hope it helps!

Hi all, We are moving from USA to Ireland end of May. We are considering bringing our current digital TV (100-240 volts so should be fine in this regard and I believe because it is digital that PAL/NTSC not an issue). But I cannot find out if there will be problems with connecting to TV services - will audio be ok? - will it connect ok to a satellite provider or to Saorview? We are bringing our Roku which works in a limited capacity in Ireland (used it last Summer on vacation) so we will have some access to programming. But are we crazy? Are there lots of issues that we are unaware of - has anyone tried this? The TV is only a few months old and we are sending over a container anyway so if I can bring it I would like to! Thanks! Elaine
