What do I need to know before moving to Dublin?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Dublin, they said...
"Renters only have to give one months notice so potential homes won't come onto the market till they are ready (or nearly ready) to be leased. Find out what the different types of houses are like; terraced, semi detached etc. Think about your lifestyle, would you like to be near the beach, a park, the DART (Dublin's main transport system, your office, kids school etc.... Know that Dublin's traffic jams are are really bad and getting worse, a 15 minute journey on a sunday morning can take an hour and a half during the week!The bus system is hopeless, the Dart is more reliable. It's always worth investing time and money on a reconnaissance trip before moving," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Dublin, Ireland.
"Before moving to Dublin, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs. It is also important to research the cost of living in Dublin, as well as the availability of housing and transportation. Additionally, expats should consider the language barrier, as English is the primary language spoken in Dublin, but Irish is also widely spoken. Finally, expats should research the job market in Dublin to ensure they have the necessary qualifications and experience to find employment," commented one expat who made the move to Dublin, Ireland.
