Where is the best place to live in southern ireland?

Kris......

I don't know the best place to live, but I can only explain my reasons for ,living where I do, Because it has all that I want, I live in Tramore, which is in the county of Waterford on the South east coast, I chose to live here because of the location and amenities, I used to live on Offaly ( middle Ireland) not to far from nenagh, and I hated it, so we chose to move south, my reasons to come here were......Not far from the ferry (rosslaire-Pembroke) very close to Waterford airport, 7 miles from the city, on the coast, mountains and countryside on the doorstep, and as it a small town by comparison (about 10,000) there are a lot of great schools, very little ant-social problems, and a good all round feeling factor, I am sure there are loads of places in Eire that can offer the same, but like you I am a Brit, and need to be close to the airport and ferry for access to get home if I need to.
So really it is a case of what you are looking for and what you need, so good luck, Oh and bye the way I have lived here for over three years, and would never go back to th UK to live.

we don't refer it as southern Ireland here , it's the republic or just Ireland, I'm not nit picking it's just some people might be offended if they heard a British person referring or country as Southern Ireland.
Nenagh is not to bad , about two hours from Dublin and 40 mins from Limerick , not much going on there though, it would be a good place to bring up kids though and if you have relations there then maybe that might be the place to go as I'm sure they will make you feel welcome.

What do you mean by Southern Ireland? The counties along the south coast?

If that's what you mean, I'd say Wexford, it's pretty, but if you meant the Republic of Ireland, I would say somewhere like Cavan or Longford for the quality of life. Accommodation would be cheaper there and yet they are still within reach or Dublin or Belfast.

I am originally from wales but am living in Dublin at the moment and its great! the wage is better, the houses are nicer etc! why not try the commuter towns outside of dublin like balbriggan, swords, malahide etc! your husband will easily find a job in the city centre, i got a job within 3 days of being over here!

Now by Southern Ireland do you mean the South of Ireland or The Republic of Ireland? If the republic I'd say Dublin or Galway or something like that, although both are fairly different, it really depends what your into, and if you mean the South of Ireland, I'd say Wexford, just cuz its a really lovely town.

not Stidge again

I would recommend either Monaghan or Galway.
