I have watched and advised many people who relocated to Ireland and have to say not one person could actually dress for the weather because of this they end up with colds and flu which by the way is absolutely no cause to go to a hospital or a doctor to recover from. Its basic, 1. As soon as you get here buy thermal long sleeved vest and thermal long leggings for under your trousers and thermal socks, thermal gloves a hat and a scarf and buy your winter coat here and of course a true waterproof rain coat not from Pennys or Dunnes but from a shop that sells clothes for outdoor wear. If you make these investments in your clothes you never need to feel the cold or the rain or buy a ridiculous umbrella. 2. Research the cost of living before you get here not after you get here, a wage of €11.50 is not going to pay for all your needs you will always be poor. 3. Research the accommodation crisis in Ireland, it will save you a lot of heartache. There are whole families with both parents working full time on great wages who are living in there car because there simply are no houses or apartments available to rent. 4. When you read tweets in your language from Irish politicians inviting you to Ireland promising you a home, jobs, healthcare and more know that this is a lie, they want to give you a job but you will never find accommodation you will be put in a center with other people from all over the world with no privacy and worse and left there, if it sounds too good to be true it is.
This isn't Greenland 😂. The weather is fine, I don't know why people complain about it to be honest, that could be because I don't mind the rain, snow, cold or wind though. If you go to the hospital for a cold your the bane of my existence and you should be fined 😂. You shouldn't actually be fined because that would discourage people from going to the hospital when they might have a serious condition but still, who tf goes to the hospital for a cold?
80 euros a day for hospital? In the US it can be $1000 or more a day just to BE in a hospital, not counting any procedures. Sounds as if the prices aren't that bad really. Depends on what income you are getting while there.
Yish, I do understand that in the US you sneeze you're doomed, that's true... Over here it's just the matter of the treatment you get, it can stack up very easily very high, but not like the US

@TheCorkyFella Actually, if you have a referral letter from your GP, any hospital treatment following is free. You pay the €60 euro to see the GP & that's it. Also, if you earn under a certain amount, are unemployed, long term sick, elderly, under 18, its also free, including the initial GP visit.
30 years ago (in 1993) 431 people died on Irish roads. Last year (2022) 157 people died on Irish roads - a fall of roughly two thirds (64%). Back in the 1990s the number of drunk drivers on Irish roads was appalling. Thankfully, the number of people who think they can safely have '1 pint [yeah right] and drive home' has declined greatly over the last 30 years. Much less people die on Irish roads now because of what a small number of people regard as 'nanny state nonsense' [disqualification of dangerous and drunken drivers, etc.] Take care.
Each big city such as cork, limerick, Galway, Dublin, Belfast etc. need more apartment complexes. In my personal opinion, I believe there should be a cap of price to pay per person for accommodation that should be revisited every few years as the value of the euro changes. But to pay 2000 euro for a single apartment is absurd given most people barely make that much on their own. People should not have to rely on teaming up to afford living. I'm as capitalist as the next guy, but some things just shouldn't be that way, and shelter is one of them.
Got an admit at NUIG. Need help. I recently got an admit from NUI Galway in MSc Information Systems Management. Can you answer some of my questions like - 1. Student life. How good is it? Social clubs, sports clubs, making new friends etc. 2. Accommodation. Is the housing crisis really that bad? What about in Galway? 3. Scholarships. Any place to look for them? Deadlines? 4. Part time jobs. Is it easy to get one? Salary range? Preferred industry to look for part time jobs? 5. Employability. Average salary range, job positions for someone with 2 years of experience prior to masters program. A little about myself. I am Bachelors of Technology graduate in Computer science (2021). I have 2 years of work ex as a software developer(Java, JS, Oracle SQL). I don’t wanna be a developer anymore and want to switch to an analyst or consultant position or into software asset management.
@@ConsciousDecision-bk4kn calm down. People here are not far right. We are mostly a social nationalist people. The country has been in and out of war with every generation for nearly 1000 years. We have a lot of issues we have to address in Ireland first before we can start to look out for immigrates. Housing, inflation and tax. When theses issues are happening at the same time that our tax economy is paying for immigration housing and immigrants benefits. A lot of immigrants like that fella that tried to kill those children. Never worked in Ireland and paid taxes. They don’t contribute to our economy but just take from it. Any country would be angry by this. Also the north of Ireland is still colonised by the British. We need to put our focus and resources into uniting our country. Sorry we don’t have time to look after half of Europe and Africa.
As far as mould growing in a house, not all houses are like this. Most house are well insulated, have central heating and if they are older houses you cannot here your neighbours! Badly built houses are very rare in Ireland they are mostly solid and secure unless you choose an area thats very cheap to live in you will get a lot of these problems. In Ireland we have a saying YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
My advice with the current situation is: do not go unless you are 100% certain you have a decent, long term accommodation to live in. I've heard stories of even hostels filling up and students ending up on the street. I lived 10 years in Ireland, did my bachelors and postgrad there, got student assistance fund money back after each year of my bachelor's, and 90% off the postgrad through springboard+. The focus of Irish education is not to overwhelm the students but to teach actual viable knowledge, so even a level 9 course is very doable if you invest enough time and energy into it. So I would recommend Ireland to people who want to study, as long as you don't mind sharing accommodation with others, bad weather, badly built houses(noisy, cold, mould on the walls, etc), bad or non-existent public transport, some really bad areas you should avoid, bad health care, etc. For these reasons I can't recommend settling here, but sure to spend a few years in Ireland, study, maybe save some money, its grand😊
This is one of my favorite comments, some of these are very accurate although experiences vary a lot, and I just think people should do research about these things before they move... Every country has good and bad things, and a lot of these things are pretty much the same wherever you go as a newcomer until you realize how things actually work then it becomes a 100 times easier when you know where to look for what... Aaand the education system is fantastic!, Thank you for sharing!
@@TheCorkyFella If the education system is great why do the brits call the Irish stupid? I worked for years in Tallaght and Ennistimon,best days of my life, the Irish aren't stupid they're grand and intelligent.
@@jamespegg6418 Well James, personally I think that the Brits and the Irish in specific places are very different from one another... And they have a long history together, which I would say is worth to read on to understand their relations (not all of them of course, but some of them still have issues with each other)
@@TheCorkyFella I would like to visit Ireland for a week but would never consider moving to Ireland or any other country. Very satisfied with my life in America. The United States isn't perfect but what country is?
I'm looking at this and I have a million things to say, but at the same time it's a personal preference... Sweden and Ireland are very different all over from society, to jobs and what's expected from you, housing is a big difference, family raising if you plan to, schools... Everything really, so I can't really give you an answer to that
Pro Extremely easy to find a job ( i always said, in Ireland the only way you don't find a job is by not wanting to work) Friendly people Decent wage Beautiful country (sometimes i feel Irish people don't realize how beautiful their country is) Bad Weather Housing crisis (created by the government and continue to be created by the government that doesn't do shit against it) Expensive The health system is a mess Honestly, if you want to build a future, Ireland is the country for you, first few months i would say are the hardest, till you get your PPS etc, more can be said but overall if you are a decent person and want to build a future by honest work you can do it in ireland
My advice is to do your research before you come. The housing crisis is the worst it has ever been here. Officially, we're meant to have over quarter of a million houses under what we currently need for the population. Rents are extortionate and the cost of living is rising dramatically. A lot of working professionals spend huge proportions of their salary on housing which isn't sustainable long term. There are many stories of students and working professionals also ending up homeless because of the lack of accommodation. And a lot of people who have lived here long term are leaving because of the housing crisis. Just make sure to do your research if you're thinking about ireland.
Moved home to Ireland was away for 15. Have my own small business here now and currently live in an old mobile home as there is absolutely no where to live, I live in the west. My advice don’t come here unless you have a place or live First
Housing is a major problem over here right now, even if you have the money to rent you are not guaranteed a place to live. There have been a lot of evictions over here recently and many have become homeless. Everything is super expensive now. As much as I love this country I would not recommend anyone come here right now as many of our own people are in dire need of housing for their families.
if you are willing to travel to work and not live in city then you will find somewhere to rent very easily. I hate the Irish who are complaining that there is nowhere to rent when there's loads of places outside the major towns, I don't know about you but I'd happily drive an hour to work to keep a roof over my families head
@@AlainnCorcaighdon't e1 can just pick up move you don't know e1s life circumstances so who the f are you to be judging anybody not wanting to move? Ure a nobody stay in ure lane
In the U.S. rents are averaging $2000 which is about 2200 Euros wages are low groceries are expensive Petrol is outrageous and then you have to hope you don't get shot when you go out so this does not sound bad and don't get me started on the medical.....
Our gas is WAY cheaper than Europe, rent for a 1 bedroom is about $1,400 and I live in a very expensive region, wages have gone up drastically since COVID (retail jobs often pay at least double minimum wage here, around $16/hr to start with zero education or experience), and shootings… well, this is ‘Merica, so that’s as good as can be expected. Our health care, however… that I fully agree with.
Too many people coming here to IRL. No accommodation, no police ever seen day or night, worst health care in europe, bad weather and high prices etc etc. Stay in your own nation. Trust me, Ireland isn't as good as people say. You wont find a place to live anyhow!
This is hilarious brother, worst Healthcare in the EU belongs to Portugal, the highest ratio between cost of living and wages is also portugal Irland is way better than most other European countries, I'm assuming you're Irish and it's part of the human psychology to think the grass is always greener on the other side I'll let you on a quick note, when I was in portugal i was top 7% wages and I couldn't afford a house by myself Let that sink in
@@edgarsousa2417 we actually lived in Lisboa for 4 years. Health care there is bad yes but do people have to wait 4 years to see a hospital consultant like Ireland? I am in year 3 of 4 waiting with serious neck problems and pay 52% tax on my income. Portugal isnt cheap except for eating and drinking but is way nicer than here to live. At least you guys have police on the streets and brilliant weather!
@@Prodrive1 thats where I was born and lived for 29 years, 52% tax is insane for sure And yes unfortunately there is a lot of people waiting for even longer, in Lisbon it usually doesn't go for that long although it does happen in public Healthcare, the only decent thing they do that I like is that they have deals with private hospitals etc to handle certain public healthcare patients. But outside of Lisbon even longer than 4 years is not uncommon, almost daily on the news you hear about someone dying whilst waiting for a consultation, surgery etc Were you treated on a public or private facility? Hope you're better now btw
got an offer letter at university of limerick for september 2023 intake. Is there a lot of work chances for international students when they finish their MSc in business analytics in Ireland?
Unless you hold a passport from an EU country migration is almost impossible. If you do have such a passport why would you want to live in Ireland ?. mostly wet and cold, only plus is the Guinness.
What the hell! It’s almost like working to pay the bills. This is too discouraging, im considering moving to Ireland from UK. Now I need to reconsider that plan.
Well to be honest a lot of people here got far better conditions than I mentioned in the video... Some people came in a few months ago and they found themselves a very cheap rent and a very good paying job... It all depends on you and a bit of luck... It just seems that it's just a bit easier in Ireland 😁
My apologies, I meant it's easier than in some other countries, I do not know about Great Britain, but believe it or not in some places you really struggle just to literally survive without anyone's help @@JanBanJoovi-ol1qv
€80 a night, €60 a GP visit, €100 for emergency?! Are you seriously implying that’s expensive? Stay a year in the United States! 😂 I get a monthly injection that without insurance would cost over $5000! A hospital stay in America is about $3500-$5000 a NIGHT. For the comments about Ireland having a bad healthcare system, could really be as broken or more broken than the scam of American healthcare?
In order to know whether Irish people are very welcoming towards foreigners, somebody would have to have asked our views before they arrived. Nobody did. Multiculturalism has been imposed on us.
I completely understand that! Lysa I'm thankful for the people who showed patience and kindness, I don't take it for granted, I know that it takes a lot to do that, and I'm sorry for those of you who feel left out or that their opinions are not heard!
I arrive in Cork in May, and expect I will be doing shared living until I can one day get my own apartment. Would you do a video on advice on how to maximise your chances of finding a shared living place to live.
Hi I’m coming to Dublin in august for undergraduate degree from Africa and I’m looking for cheap apartments outside Dublin…what’s the price range like and getting a job shouldn’t be difficult…Plss enlighten me..thank you
Hi, glad you're coming! Well from the cheapest around 1000 -1500€ depending on how far from dublin you looking for... But I do recommend if you are alone or only with a partner to look up a single or double bed room depending on the situation since you can get a room from 500 -1000€... Job-wise if you are not too picky you are gonna do just fine real fast if you want something better look for it while you're working so you don't waste € note: the prices are like that at this moment and may vary, right now they are very volatile
@@TheCorkyFella hi…I really appreciate your response I’m single and I’ll prefer the single room outside Dublin…I hope it’s very affordable and like you said…public transportation is relatively cheap so I don’t mind living quite far from city center…really appreciate your help Tom 🙏..God bless you

@MrPsykobot get qualified in healthcare assistant FEATC level 5 course takes 1 year 8 modules to do lots of jobs here for that in the community there you go. If you go back to school on a full time course you get a medical card a grant towards cost of books etc maybe a travel allowance depends on how near or far away you live from the place where the course is taking place. That's what I work in
It’s not that bad but after the litany of taxes on paychecks in Ireland those rent prices seem very expensive to the Irish people. Over in Ireland 40 grand a year is like you are established and in the job a good few years before you make that. Most jobs are like 25 grand a year. 🤷🏽♂️😂 before taxes. Then everything you buy say at there version of Home Depot gets taxed at 23 % V.A.T (value added tax) at check out. Gasoline costs are double than the U.S and insurance for any car starts at about $2,000 - $3,000 plus per year for an economy car. Plus road tax which is another $400 on average per year.
@jasonknight5863 Jesus, what are you driving - a tank? 😂 Car insurance for me is €345 comprehensive in Dublin with car tax at €190 (1.2 ltr turbo) Starting earnings in my industry is €32,000 for the entry year, going to €75,000 - €90,000 when qualified. Living costs - on par with other European cities & somethings cheaper, somethings dearer - meat & dairy cheaper, vegetables more expensive. Eating out, depends type of restaurant re cost - have eaten in really expensive in other cities for ok food so I guess, it's what experience you are looking for. Alcohol dearer that continent but cheaper than UK as is petrol & cigarettes. Housing crisis at the moment as economy quickly expanding & Government can't catch up. Public transport - can't comment as I drive but kids use & don't have any problems. Can't say what outside Dublin is like.
You shouldn't be rude, he looks good, leave him alone, you shouldn't judge him just by his looks. He has given you useful information, he is not there for you to comment on his appearance.
Everyone is flocking to “Treasure island…”. The government gives everything free except their own …. I’m talking abut the refugees, the illegals ( im pro immigration but not when you live off the system) the government gives about 900 euros per month, free doctor and prescriptions, if you are unemployed ….
There's a lot to love about Ireland until you get to housing. It's so dysfunctional, it's beyond comprehension. Most important thing you need to know about moving to Ireland - DON'T !!!!!! Maybe, in 20 years. What's really going to happen is an entire generation of young people are moving to other countries and Ireland will eventually become a childless society.
@@TheCorkyFella He has a very good point! Why is someone who isn't even from this land encouraging others to come and why couldn't you make a go of it in your own country!!
@@TheCorkyFella Karl is spot on. Ireland is being invaded on a daily basis by unvetted military aged men looking for free money and housing. The common Irish folk are sick of it and rightly so.
Believe it or not, but Ireland was a better place 30 years ago. It's a mess now. The pubs are crap, you can't even have 1 pint and drive home, which is pure nanny state nonsense, therefore nobody is in the pubs anymore, they're dead. Nobody goes out, even the nightclubs are all shutting down. The price of rent and property are criminally high. You'd just find yourself working and working, and not able to afford to do anything fun. It sucks here now, it's the most overrated country.
@@dag4096 I have owned my home in the United States for many years. There is a shortage of affordable homes in America right now also. It isn't too bad finding a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment to rent unlike some countries.
The best advice I could give anyone thinking of moving to Ireland is don't this country is on the brink of serious social disruption and backlash . The people have been pushed to breaking point and there's pretty much 100% guarantee you won't find anywhere to live .

In my personal opinion, I believe there should be a cap of price to pay per person for accommodation that should be revisited every few years as the value of the euro changes. But to pay 2000 euro for a single apartment is absurd given most people barely make that much on their own. People should not have to rely on teaming up to afford living. I'm as capitalist as the next guy, but some things just shouldn't be that way, and shelter is one of them.
I completely agree!
Awesome tips, really very useful... I'm hoping for more videos.. ❤
You're awesome, thank you! More videos are on their way. 😁
Awesome video! What country are you from?
Thank you!! Croatia
Got an admit at NUIG. Need help.
I recently got an admit from NUI Galway in MSc Information Systems Management. Can you answer some of my questions like -
1. Student life. How good is it? Social clubs, sports clubs, making new friends etc.
2. Accommodation. Is the housing crisis really that bad? What about in Galway?
3. Scholarships. Any place to look for them? Deadlines?
4. Part time jobs. Is it easy to get one? Salary range? Preferred industry to look for part time jobs?
5. Employability. Average salary range, job positions for someone with 2 years of experience prior to masters program.
A little about myself. I am Bachelors of Technology graduate in Computer science (2021). I have 2 years of work ex as a software developer(Java, JS, Oracle SQL). I don’t wanna be a developer anymore and want to switch to an analyst or consultant position or into software asset management.
Great questions, i would be honored to answer, shoot me an e-mail on the address in the bottom of the description, I'm sure i can help you out bud!
why do u have to pay for health if you pay taxes?!
Great video hope your enjoying your new home land 🇮🇪☘️
I am! Thank you for your support!
@@ConsciousDecision-bk4kn calm down. People here are not far right. We are mostly a social nationalist people. The country has been in and out of war with every generation for nearly 1000 years. We have a lot of issues we have to address in Ireland first before we can start to look out for immigrates. Housing, inflation and tax. When theses issues are happening at the same time that our tax economy is paying for immigration housing and immigrants benefits. A lot of immigrants like that fella that tried to kill those children. Never worked in Ireland and paid taxes. They don’t contribute to our economy but just take from it. Any country would be angry by this. Also the north of Ireland is still colonised by the British. We need to put our focus and resources into uniting our country. Sorry we don’t have time to look after half of Europe and Africa.
As far as mould growing in a house, not all houses are like this. Most house are well insulated, have central heating and if they are older houses you cannot here your neighbours! Badly built houses are very rare in Ireland they are mostly solid and secure unless you choose an area thats very cheap to live in you will get a lot of these problems. In Ireland we have a saying YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
We say that in the United States also.
I am Staying in one such bad mouldy house in Cork Ireland and it is bad and expensive
My advice with the current situation is: do not go unless you are 100% certain you have a decent, long term accommodation to live in. I've heard stories of even hostels filling up and students ending up on the street. I lived 10 years in Ireland, did my bachelors and postgrad there, got student assistance fund money back after each year of my bachelor's, and 90% off the postgrad through springboard+. The focus of Irish education is not to overwhelm the students but to teach actual viable knowledge, so even a level 9 course is very doable if you invest enough time and energy into it. So I would recommend Ireland to people who want to study, as long as you don't mind sharing accommodation with others, bad weather, badly built houses(noisy, cold, mould on the walls, etc), bad or non-existent public transport, some really bad areas you should avoid, bad health care, etc. For these reasons I can't recommend settling here, but sure to spend a few years in Ireland, study, maybe save some money, its grand😊
This is one of my favorite comments, some of these are very accurate although experiences vary a lot, and I just think people should do research about these things before they move... Every country has good and bad things, and a lot of these things are pretty much the same wherever you go as a newcomer until you realize how things actually work then it becomes a 100 times easier when you know where to look for what... Aaand the education system is fantastic!, Thank you for sharing!
Hmmm…this is deep🤔…thanks for sharing bro
@@TheCorkyFella If the education system is great why do the brits call the Irish stupid? I worked for years in Tallaght and Ennistimon,best days of my life, the Irish aren't stupid they're grand and intelligent.
@@jamespegg6418 Well James, personally I think that the Brits and the Irish in specific places are very different from one another... And they have a long history together, which I would say is worth to read on to understand their relations (not all of them of course, but some of them still have issues with each other)
@@TheCorkyFella I would like to visit Ireland for a week but would never consider moving to Ireland or any other country. Very satisfied with my life in America. The United States isn't perfect but what country is?
What of family accomodation outside Dublin but where you can commute to Dublin, like Louth, Longford, Wicklow etc.
As a place to live for a couple , which is better? Sweden or Ireland?
I'm looking at this and I have a million things to say, but at the same time it's a personal preference... Sweden and Ireland are very different all over from society, to jobs and what's expected from you, housing is a big difference, family raising if you plan to, schools... Everything really, so I can't really give you an answer to that
Been 2 weeks im living in Galway its beautiful place also pro tip Dublin is edgy place
Nice!! And true...
Pro
Extremely easy to find a job ( i always said, in Ireland the only way you don't find a job is by not wanting to work)
Friendly people
Decent wage
Beautiful country (sometimes i feel Irish people don't realize how beautiful their country is)
Bad
Weather
Housing crisis (created by the government and continue to be created by the government that doesn't do shit against it)
Expensive
The health system is a mess
Honestly, if you want to build a future, Ireland is the country for you, first few months i would say are the hardest, till you get your PPS etc, more can be said but overall if you are a decent person and want to build a future by honest work you can do it in ireland
How long it take to get the PPS?
Do you have a video of how you ended in Ireland? What's your job?
I'd love to move from Portugal. Cheers
Thanks for Sharing ❤ 🥀 😎
Itll cost you about 3grand to get your 1st house in Ireland with deposits and 1st two months rent
Where is this guy from? I'm going to guess Romania or Bulgaria
nope and nope
@@TheCorkyFella 🤯
Average wage €3,700pm?? Maybe in big cities but not in the smaller towns
My advice is to do your research before you come. The housing crisis is the worst it has ever been here. Officially, we're meant to have over quarter of a million houses under what we currently need for the population. Rents are extortionate and the cost of living is rising dramatically. A lot of working professionals spend huge proportions of their salary on housing which isn't sustainable long term. There are many stories of students and working professionals also ending up homeless because of the lack of accommodation. And a lot of people who have lived here long term are leaving because of the housing crisis. Just make sure to do your research if you're thinking about ireland.
Moved home to Ireland was away for 15. Have my own small business here now and currently live in an old mobile home as there is absolutely no where to live, I live in the west. My advice don’t come here unless you have a place or live First
Sorry to hear that, I wish you the best with the business and I hope you find a better place to live ! But that's some good advice
Thank you but I'm still not changing my decision to go to Ireland😂
Good for you! Never planned to scare you off! Good luck
Do people here require you to speak Irish in work spaces? Or is English enough?
rarely, but yeah on some jobs you do have to speak Irish ! but rarely
@@TheCorkyFellano.job requires you to speak Irish now your getting simple facts wrong
Housing is a major problem over here right now, even if you have the money to rent you are not guaranteed a place to live. There have been a lot of evictions over here recently and many have become homeless. Everything is super expensive now. As much as I love this country I would not recommend anyone come here right now as many of our own people are in dire need of housing for their families.
So where is better to live? It was always my dream to live in Ireland
Sad bro mmmh
if you are willing to travel to work and not live in city then you will find somewhere to rent very easily. I hate the Irish who are complaining that there is nowhere to rent when there's loads of places outside the major towns, I don't know about you but I'd happily drive an hour to work to keep a roof over my families head

What if I’m from a war torn country and have 13 children? Can I still come?
In the U.S. rents are averaging $2000 which is about 2200 Euros wages are low groceries are expensive Petrol is outrageous and then you have to hope you don't get shot when you go out so this does not sound bad and don't get me started on the medical.....
Our gas is WAY cheaper than Europe, rent for a 1 bedroom is about $1,400 and I live in a very expensive region, wages have gone up drastically since COVID (retail jobs often pay at least double minimum wage here, around $16/hr to start with zero education or experience), and shootings… well, this is ‘Merica, so that’s as good as can be expected. Our health care, however… that I fully agree with.
We're full .😂😂😂😂😂
The open picture was Waterford along the river 😮
If you don't have anywhere to live...
DO NOT COME! It's a total disaster and hugely expensive.
Too many people coming here to IRL. No accommodation, no police ever seen day or night, worst health care in europe, bad weather and high prices etc etc. Stay in your own nation. Trust me, Ireland isn't as good as people say. You wont find a place to live anyhow!
This is hilarious brother, worst Healthcare in the EU belongs to Portugal, the highest ratio between cost of living and wages is also portugal
Irland is way better than most other European countries, I'm assuming you're Irish and it's part of the human psychology to think the grass is always greener on the other side
I'll let you on a quick note, when I was in portugal i was top 7% wages and I couldn't afford a house by myself
Let that sink in
I do agree with the living situation tho
@@edgarsousa2417 we actually lived in Lisboa for 4 years. Health care there is bad yes but do people have to wait 4 years to see a hospital consultant like Ireland? I am in year 3 of 4 waiting with serious neck problems and pay 52% tax on my income. Portugal isnt cheap except for eating and drinking but is way nicer than here to live. At least you guys have police on the streets and brilliant weather!
@@Prodrive1 thats where I was born and lived for 29 years, 52% tax is insane for sure
And yes unfortunately there is a lot of people waiting for even longer, in Lisbon it usually doesn't go for that long although it does happen in public Healthcare, the only decent thing they do that I like is that they have deals with private hospitals etc to handle certain public healthcare patients. But outside of Lisbon even longer than 4 years is not uncommon, almost daily on the news you hear about someone dying whilst waiting for a consultation, surgery etc
Were you treated on a public or private facility?
Hope you're better now btw
@@Prodrive1 also im moving full time to irland soon so anything you can say that might help me ill be very appreciative
I think you need more time in Ireland to talk about it. I would argue with nearly everything you are stating, and im 14 years here. Galway, Connemara
got an offer letter at university of limerick for september 2023 intake.
Is there a lot of work chances for international students when they finish their MSc in business analytics in Ireland?
Limerick should be ok
It's basically like the UK but a little less fussy not as much drama and crime but a bit more expensive in the long run
Huh, I really would not know much about UK but that's interesting 😅
Not like the UK😊
Unless you hold a passport from an EU country migration is almost impossible. If you do have such a passport why would you want to live in Ireland ?. mostly wet and cold, only plus is the Guinness.
Well, there are a lot of pluses depending on needs and goals...
What the hell! It’s almost like working to pay the bills. This is too discouraging, im considering moving to Ireland from UK. Now I need to reconsider that plan.
Well to be honest a lot of people here got far better conditions than I mentioned in the video... Some people came in a few months ago and they found themselves a very cheap rent and a very good paying job... It all depends on you and a bit of luck... It just seems that it's just a bit easier in Ireland 😁
@@TheCorkyFella it’s easier in terms of what bro?

Canada? No thanks.
Hell no
€80 a night, €60 a GP visit, €100 for emergency?! Are you seriously implying that’s expensive? Stay a year in the United States! 😂
I get a monthly injection that without insurance would cost over $5000! A hospital stay in America is about $3500-$5000 a NIGHT. For the comments about Ireland having a bad healthcare system, could really be as broken or more broken than the scam of American healthcare?
Sorry, Bro never been to United States but I know that US healthcare is famous for that! That's a case for itself my bad... 😂
In order to know whether Irish people are very welcoming towards foreigners, somebody would have to have asked our views before they arrived. Nobody did. Multiculturalism has been imposed on us.
I completely understand that! Lysa I'm thankful for the people who showed patience and kindness, I don't take it for granted, I know that it takes a lot to do that, and I'm sorry for those of you who feel left out or that their opinions are not heard!
I arrive in Cork in May, and expect I will be doing shared living until I can one day get my own apartment. Would you do a video on advice on how to maximise your chances of finding a shared living place to live.
No!

Hi I’m coming to Dublin in august for undergraduate degree from Africa and I’m looking for cheap apartments outside Dublin…what’s the price range like and getting a job shouldn’t be difficult…Plss enlighten me..thank you
Hi, glad you're coming! Well from the cheapest around 1000 -1500€ depending on how far from dublin you looking for... But I do recommend if you are alone or only with a partner to look up a single or double bed room depending on the situation since you can get a room from 500 -1000€... Job-wise if you are not too picky you are gonna do just fine real fast if you want something better look for it while you're working so you don't waste € note: the prices are like that at this moment and may vary, right now they are very volatile
Good luck finding anything in dublin! Not a hope.

Theirs no need for prices in ireland to be so high and expensive people need to stand up about this to the irish goverment😮😢
That's not even bad that's what we pay in the states for apartments seems to be a housing crisis everywhere
It’s not that bad but after the litany of taxes on paychecks in Ireland those rent prices seem very expensive to the Irish people. Over in Ireland 40 grand a year is like you are established and in the job a good few years before you make that. Most jobs are like 25 grand a year. 🤷🏽♂️😂 before taxes. Then everything you buy say at there version of Home Depot gets taxed at 23 % V.A.T (value added tax) at check out. Gasoline costs are double than the U.S and insurance for any car starts at about $2,000 - $3,000 plus per year for an economy car. Plus road tax which is another $400 on average per year.
Currently, there is a crisis everywhere, it'll take some time for the world to recover from the recent events...
@jasonknight5863 Jesus, what are you driving - a tank? 😂 Car insurance for me is €345 comprehensive in Dublin with car tax at €190 (1.2 ltr turbo) Starting earnings in my industry is €32,000 for the entry year, going to €75,000 - €90,000 when qualified. Living costs - on par with other European cities & somethings cheaper, somethings dearer - meat & dairy cheaper, vegetables more expensive. Eating out, depends type of restaurant re cost - have eaten in really expensive in other cities for ok food so I guess, it's what experience you are looking for. Alcohol dearer that continent but cheaper than UK as is petrol & cigarettes. Housing crisis at the moment as economy quickly expanding & Government can't catch up. Public transport - can't comment as I drive but kids use & don't have any problems. Can't say what outside Dublin is like.

There's a lot to love about Ireland until you get to housing. It's so dysfunctional, it's beyond comprehension.
Most important thing you need to know about moving to Ireland - DON'T !!!!!! Maybe, in 20 years. What's really going to happen is an entire generation of young people are moving to other countries and Ireland will eventually become a childless society.
