Advice on moving to Ireland

7 years ago

So we are considering a move to Ireland , we are from australia husband though is British/German/Australian so we won't need any visas for him and for me it would be the visa for european spouses. But we'd like to have an idea on people's experiences of moving to Ireland good and bad although bad I would like it to be specific ie bad because of work/schools/renting.
We especially would like to hear of people's opinions on what the work would be like for a radiographer ie is there enough work.

Experiences in relation to children going to high school (we have a 15yr) what your opinions of the school system over there.

Your experiences in terms of renting how hard/easy is it, how many months in advance would a landlord/real estate be looking for from an immigrant.

Also how good is the public healthcare is would we need to go private, just more looking at dental and just general health issues ie going to a local gp.

And just any other advice people could give us.

We are hoping that the UK could be our first choice but Ireland is our second choice as we really want to experience living in Europe and be able to give our son an experience of still exploring Europe.
