Ireland is a breathtaking country, definitely my top choice to visit or reside in. However, the housing situation is a concern.

[@turanose]

I've been living in Iowa for the last 10 years where the winter can drop to well below 0*c and the summer can go over 32*c so living somewhere where it never gets that extreme sounds fantastic!

[@peadarruane6582]

Thank you so much for a very positive video. Firstly as someone who called Galway home for a decade, it was very heart warming to see the familiar streets of that fabulous city. I recently moved to Canada, after 25 years living in Ireland, and your positive energy about the country I love has been much welcome after seeing loads of depressing nonsense popping up on social media. I am thrilled that you have the same enthusiasm and love of Ireland, and am glad that a person like yourself feels so happy to call it home. Hope you have a very happy birthday, and may you have a bright and happy time in Ireland in the future.

Absolutely correct about the weather, I’d doesn’t rain every day, some days we have showers or precipitation.

[@rosey_ie]

😆 Underrated comment there Tony!

7:32 were not a fan of our neighbours and on another note Kayaking is massive here to Haven't done it years but theres some amazing lakes and rivers to try Some of the rapids ect would really only be for the more experienced But the lakes are my favourite you get such a different view of the scenery Even if it's freezing and pissing rain

[@pyndtv]

Usually I prefer human eye views for reviews and vlogs, but man.. these are some really good drone shots... !

Finding accommodation in Dublin and outside Dublin is not only expensive but it is also an absolute nightmare due to people queuing to view properties! I live and work there with my husband but had to get out.

[@Corrky]

I can only imagine the situation there!

Thank you so much for this! I'm from the U.S. and am considering moving to Ireland to live & work after grad school! These videos are very helpful! :)

[@BrianF-eg1bt]

I think you could get to Bundoran easy enough from there. Great town, nice beaches and walking paths. I always head over there when visiting in laws in the north (coming from US) 👍 also if you're near Derry, The Thirsty Goat has the best food anywhere

Uh yeah it’s cold in Alberta right now, I just ran stairs outside at 2am, definitely frigid. Tomorrow I’ll go up a mountain…. But why do you think anyone in the world cares that we’re having a cold week?

Actually, Ireland is a part of EU. Northern Ireland isn't, it's part of GB

[@Kaiyats]

Ah thanks

Yea... and the dude says hes in Ireland 5 years. "Go to a pub and meet someone with a pint of Guinness"

[@robertbryson4576]

Actually, Northern Ireland is not a part of Great Britain. G.B. is the island comprising England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is however part of the U.K. That's the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to give it it's full official title at present. It's a bit confusing because sometimes people wrongly think that Britain and UK means the same thing. I hope this helps. Riobeard

If paying 3X - 4X normal rent to live in a tiny room within a house where every room is rented out is your thing, by all means consider Ireland.

I’m moving to Ireland in 2025. I realize it’s more expensive in Ireland than other parts of Europe. I am moving to most likely Donegal, Ulster, Cork or Galway. Can I live in those cities comfortably? What is the job market like?

[@Corrky]

You can live in any city in Ireland comfortably as long as you work and do you part. Biggest problem currently is not finding a job, it is finding accommodation. Jobs are easy.

[@seokthapa2723]

Like what's the price for one single room in a shared apartment at Dublin ?​@@Corrky

Absolutely.

How much would i have to pay health insurance top up as OAP retiring jn Ireland coming from the UK? Otherwise i might move to NI and go for regualt travel to IRL😅

[@johnorsomeone4609]

What kind of visa are people getting? It was my understanding that you need a country’s permission before you just move there so… how are people doing it? Help.

[@Corrky]

You don’t need anything if you’re EU citizen.

[@johnorsomeone4609]

@@Corrky I am not an EU citizen. I am from the States and my Irish ancestors are too many generations removed for me to qualify. Absolute bummer.

[@Kitiwake]

So , where are you now bro? Gone back home to zululand huh?

[@aks13v35]

I have a question. I am moving in Ireland Dublin or Galway after couple of months with my girlfriend. We are moving from another EU country. I am a dental technician, she is a dentist. We already had couple of interviews and did our research, but what so you think about the job market in that area and also is it not super hard to find lets say rent 2 bedroom appartment for around 2k-2.2k Eur per month? Firstly we wanted to move to Galway, but seeing how few rents they got in daft we probably are going for Dublin.

[@Corrky]

Honestly, job should be easy for both of you considering what you do. Both Galway and Dublin. Accommodation could be problem, there’s no point in lying about it. In Galway you can get it for that money for sure, that should be more than enough. And for Dublin I really don’t know. I have no idea what situation is like there and what the costs are.

[@aks13v35]

@@Corrky the rent cost itself I big I know, but the bigger problem for me is if I could actually find a place. I checked the rents and for similar places its the same price for Dublin and Galway, but in Dublin you could find a newer place. How is the city transportation system in Galway?

[@Kitiwake]

he he he ..rather you than me pal.

He's definitely taking all his blue pills. If you drop one more red pill, he might faint, explode or start using familiar weaponized words against you like "waycist" "xenophobic" "far right" and the old fave, "fascist" or even - if he loses it - he'll use the n word. Zelenskyy (sorry, I should have used his proper prefixes of Saint and Hero) laughed his actor's laugh at the suggestion of N's in his country but we know better. We know that the US, UK and many tax payers of many western countries were duped when their cash and weapons were sent to be used by probably the largest concentration of n @ t z ee s in zee world.

Can I work in Belfast with an eu passport or I need a visa ? I know Belfast is under the UK but still it’s called Northern Ireland, so want to be sure:)

I believe you need a visa since it’s not EU but I don’t know exact rules for UK.
