Everything You Need To Know About Moving To Ireland
Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle. When you see its lush green landscape and breathtaking views, it’s easy to see why. It’s a lively and vibrant country with a history deep in folklore, not to mention a rich culture in music, dance and literature.
It’s also the perfect place to come and learn English and spend some time getting to know the friendly locals.
Reasons you should move to Ireland
Employment
Thanks to a growing economy and an impressive number of multinational companies, there are lots of opportunities for you to find work. Ireland now has a serious tech industry with companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin moving their European headquarters there.
You can find lots of big biotech and pharmaceutical companies as well – including organisations like Johnson & Johnson and Roche.
3. The people
Without a doubt, Irish people are the best thing about Ireland. They are known for their good sense of humour, their beautiful melodic accents, and also for being extremely friendly. Three of Ireland’s cities appeared in Conde Nast’s list of friendliest cities in the world. Cork was voted third, and Dublin and Galway appeared in the top ten – so expect a warm welcome when you arrive!
4. Low crime
Ireland is very safe. It was voted the twelfth safest country to live in the world in 2019. And although you should take precautions, the risks are quite low: just make sure you take a taxi if you’re travelling alone late at night.
5. Universities
Did you know Ireland has the most international students in the world? It’s therefore a great place if you are considering studying abroad. Prestigious universities like Trinity College Dublin can be found in the capital, making it an obvious destination if you are interested in higher education.
Where to live
From lively multicultural cities with world-famous nightlife to peaceful walks on cliff covered coastline, Ireland has it all. Deciding where to live really depends on what kind of experience you are looking for. Here are some of our recommendations for where to make your new home.
Dublin
The country’s capital is a great place for the ‘craic’ (pronounced: crack). That’s Irish for a good time. Expect to see pubs brimming with people, performers in the streets and a friendly face when you’ve lost your way. It’s a very walkable city with so much life in the city centre, but there’s more to it than that.
Dublin is now home to the biggest multinationals in tech. Named ‘silicon docks’, there are about 7,000 tech professionals working in the area. The good news is there are lots of work opportunities, but be careful of the increasing rent prices. Rooms start at about €600 a month.
Galway
Galway is another excellent choice if you are thinking about moving to Ireland. It’s small enough to feel welcome but there’s still a lot happening in the arts and culture scene.
In fact, it’s a very musical city, famed for its love of old folk music and traditional Irish culture. While it’s considerably smaller than Dublin it is still very international. You can walk the cobbled streets and see the colourful buildings throughout the centre. Or explore beautiful beaches like Salt Hill and even escape to the nearby Aran Islands.
Employment prospects aren’t as high as in the capital but rent is considerably cheaper. Rooms start at about €350 a month.
Cork
Known as the rebel county because of its history of fighting for independence, Cork is Ireland’s second-largest city. Employment rates are high thanks to a boom in startups. Even better, house prices are much cheaper than in Dublin, and the cost of living is much lower too. The pace of life is slower, more relaxed and the people are very easy-going. It’s also home to lots of history, including the beautiful Blarney castle. Rooms start at about €250 a month. This city is really suit for living.
