If you are a nice, good and decent person, you will be more than welcome.

Bring an umbrella is my advice because it rains continuously from October to April then we have showers for the rest of the year.

Seriously there are no jobs at the moment, we are in a major recession as is most of the Western world so unless you are highly qualified in a field that is in demand then Ireland might not be the best choice at the moment. Hopefully in a couple of years things will be better.

If you do come then I doubt if you'd make a fool of yourself, just be genuine and talk to people honestly and thats how you will be treated back. Most Irish people are very inquisitive and will want to know all about where you've come from and what you do lol.

Moving from where? Are you hot? Have you saved money, are you a millionaire? The jobs are gone, you are required to have a huge amount of saving to survive.

Right now you should only consider it if you're independently wealthy - there are very few jobs available, and what jobs are there are going to Irish first and EU nationals second. I'm afraid if you're from anywhere else, you're simply out of luck.

You would need a job offer in writing from an established employer in Ireland before you even come to Ireland, so that you can get your residency/work permit - and as this is very expensive for companies to pay for your permt, they will only do so if you have specific qualifications for a skill that is in very short supply in Ireland.

Sorry.

Unless you have a job already don't come. We don't have a huge amount of employment at the moment and we can't afford to pay out any more social welfare.

Well 1st thing first Bring a raincoat and an umbrella and possibly wellies as it rains a lot in satictics its 2 in every 3 days!

2nd don't expect thatched cottages, you ll see quite a few,possibleably more than any where else but not every house has them actually very few.

3rd if you want to live Irishy and eat the irish food then you better like plain stuff as not traditionall meal has seasoning! but there is loads of normal food about.

4th the best way to fit iin especiallyin villages is to go to the local pub and drink the trad bear ie Guinness. If you drink spirts and wine go to a club.

5th The economic climate over in Ireland is really bad at the minute, loads of people are unemployed and both governments have issued a law saying all new job posts (if between) should go to a local rather than a immigrant! so may be very difficult to find work!

6th As for good places to live it's completely your own taste the only thing i can say is there is some towns North and South that are very one sided and have strong views and if your views aren't as strong (even if they are the same) don't stay as if could be very awkward and dangerous at the worst!

7th Finally have an amazing time

finally its probs best if you vvisitedIreland before you moved as it's very different from lots of it's stories and you may be in for a shock!

just bring your thermal under wear and wet weather gear and your pretty much set, oh and plenty of money because it is very expensive to live here.
And we don't really get easily offended over here.
