Right. It depends on where you are from, and what your qualifications. EU citizens are laughing because they have no problem with visas or anything like that, all they have to do with register with the foreign police (you have to do it in every EU country anyway) and be able to prove that they have enough money to live on until they get a job.

What with all the cheap labour coming in from Eastern Europe (new EU states), finding a job might be tricky unless you have good qualifications.

As for the best cities - there are six official cities: Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford and Kilkenny; and many other large towns. The cities have something resembling a public transport service, but generally public transport is not the best in Ireland. Most expensive cities to live in are Dublin and Galway, with Cork coming next, the Kilkenny and Waterford, and finally Limerick. To give you an idea of property prices in Ireland now, in Dublin it's common to have of mortgage of half a million Euro for a 3 bedroom house on a terrace, and that's nowhere near the rich eastern side of the city.

Nice people everywhere, jobs everywhere, but accommodation is likely to be your worst problem if you are looking to be in Dublin.

hi there it is and if you need a jod have you ever considered working in the optical trade .
i work for vision express (store manager in scotland) but they do need new starts and you would get full training etc..
you could work in the lab or on the shop floor (retail)
..
hope this helps a bit ........

Where are you from? Because I will swap jobs because it never stops raining here.

I want a job in Spain or anywhere with a nice climate.

Depends on your nationality. If you are British or other EU/EEA national it is easy to move here. You are entitled to live here so long as you can support yourself. You don't have to register with the police but you do need a PRSI number so you can pay tax and PRSI on your wages. It's easy to get. Just go to the local tax office.
There is plenty of work about especially in IT and pharmaceutical at the moment but if you have pretty much any kind of skill you should have no problem finding work. There is plenty of unskilled work too, eg. pubs, manufacturing, retail.
Quality of life is relative. Housing is very, very expensive. Public transport is atrocious. Crime is an issue in some cities (Dublin, Limerick) as is traffic congestion. Weather is depressing.
That's the bad points. Good points are: wages are relatively high, it's very cheap and easy to go just about anywhere in Europe, there are a lot of very friendly people (although not everybody is).
As I said, it's all relative.
Nice places to live (for me) would be Waterford, Cork, Galway. Some people are ga-ga about Dublin. It wouldn't be for me, but obviously can't be all that bad if so many people like it.
Hope this helps.

the pubs are always looking for help

? BlueBerry ?

depends where you are, usually a plane or a boat does the trick. depends on your profession or what you would like to do, there's a big computing industry, as well pharmaceutical. most people in Ireland are excellent and nice to foreigners some exceptions, like everywhere else, quality of life is so subjective. You like country life or urban life ? Just come over and see for yourself.

Depends on what you want to work at. Always work going in cafes and delivery jobs for fast food companies. Minimal wage is â‚¬7.60. Cork,Dublin and Galway are the best places to try. Good luck. Here is a website with a section on it for moving to Ireland.

No it is not easy I have been going to Ireland for three years if you cannot get a work permit then you literally have to visit every year for at least four years and live most of the time in Ireland before you can apply for permanent residency unless you are coming from an EU country. Or can show by passport that you have a relative or your parents or you grandparents come from ireland you can get all the information from the Irish Embassy in Washington DC

Ireland has loads of jobs, Ireland used to have a population of 7 million and now its only around 5million so there's no reason to be unemployed apart from social benefit is â‚¬185 a week,

Try Navan, Meath
Drogheda, Louth
Sligo City

and loads more
