  • Join us as we explore some Pros and Cons of living in Ireland in this moving to Ireland VLOG. Ireland is known for its love of food and drink, picturesque countryside and bustling cities. From the outside, Ireland may look like a perfect place to call home. But moving to a new country is a huge decision. It’s important to do your research and weigh the pros and cons to living in Ireland.
    Ireland may be small but it has an enormous amount to offer, including an incredibly rich culture, diverse artistic talent, lively people and gorgeous, lush landscapes. However, despite the pricey cost of living, the quality of life in Ireland remains excellent and the people, culture and lifestyle outweigh many of life's difficulties.
    Living in #Ireland, moving to Ireland, considering life in Ireland or just visiting Ireland? These are the things you need to know before moving to Ireland!
    Have a nice day everyone and see you next week!
    Cheers! 🍺

    I can't recommend my own capital Oslo, but I have a few other ones! In Germany you have two gems, Köln (Cologne) and Leipzig. Love them both!! And Malaga in Spain is one of my favourites. The Danish cities Aalborg and Aarhus are beautiful!!

      We have a folk festival in our town over the duration of a long weekend. They get 5 or 6 massive marquee's to shade from sun or rain! Wonderful idea Lorraine's and can confirm it works!
      We have wet winters, most of all of our town shops have verandah's..
      We have bike lanes here. If cars drive into them, they get a fine. It saves lives!
      😂 Ireland is the new Switzerland, as far as banking goes! Trains are cheaper than buses here.
      We get 20days annual leave, 4 weeks including weekends! Totals 28day. 2 paid bereavement/compassion days per year. 10 paid sick days. Sounds similar.
      I think our bank holidays may be called public holidays or long weekends perhaps.

    Underground Malls would be a great start. The granite pegmatite of Ireland makes for naturally super-strong cave and caverns. The lighting could be introduced through enhanced solar mirrors like in the expensive homes which have skylights made of them. The natural wind of Ireland just needs to be harnessed and directed. There are nearly zero earthquakes in Ireland. Water is far more controllable than people realize, so long as pressure is dealt with reasonably. In 1982 I went to San Sebastian Spain and saw the existence of an aquarium made of the sea. You simply walked underground and the Spanish have built a massive window into the sea of pure beauty. Anything imagined can be done.

    Hi guys, we enjoy your videos very much. I have to disagree on the public transport though. I can go from Dromod in Leitrim to Dublin (2 hours ride with the train) for 26 Euro. That's return. A similar ride in the UK would cost me over 100£/116€. We hope you have a happy Sunday.

      @@Corrky it actually is becoming much more popular. Five years ago actually got the opportunity to drive a Aston Martin V12 vanquish and a Ferrari 488G GTB on the Long Beach Grand Prix circuit. It was kind of an impromptu event, as my buddy had four cars in the super car parking lot at the race, and he drew four tickets (driving on the circuit is by lottery) so both of us literally got to drive Two supercars each on the circuit. He drove the McLaren 720 S and some kind of special Porsche that I really have no affinity for. Never have been a fan of Porsche, when I left the show business 10 years ago because of the big financial crisis, I went back into finance at Merrill Lynch, and then left a few years later after my boss and friend died after he crashed his 2005 Carrera GT into a tree, killing himself in the actor Paul Walker. I was their show business development broker (It’s in the about section on my channel).

    I´m rather concerned lately. It´s SO easy to forget. Forget WHY I had to go to Ireland to find a man worth marrying. Lately, I´ve turned around and said, ¨you know, I´ve been sitting here learning Spanish for 3 years solid. I need to get out and make some friends!¨. And, inconveniently, I forgot why I had to import a man from Ireland! Because there weren´t any Americans worthy of marriage! So, now what? Magically, there are going to be men worth being friends with? Hell no! They hate each other, too so, it´s not like I´m not part of the club. The secret is, there is no club! Now, I need to focus: Find male friends in Ireland. Find male friends in Spain. I´m in my 50s so, looking too young is nuts. Still, mature, centered, determined 30s, 40s, 50s..perfect!
