American family looking at moving to Ireland

16 years ago
Hi All,

My family and I have been putting much thought into moving to Ireland. We are still in the pocess of deciding on a city or area but we love everything we know about the country.

i have some questions for anyone out there that can answer them for me or point me in the right direction.

I am currently self-employed as a software / web programmer. I could do what i do from anywhere. Is there a limit to the amount of time we could stay there if i am not employed in the counrty?

we are leaning a bit towards Cork as an area to live. What is the work like in the area? How do i go about looking for work there? I am not familiar with how it works.

Also, can we as americans purchase property there ir do we have to be a resident?

if anyone could pass on any information that would be so great. we are looking at moving in the next 1.5 - 2 years.

Thanks in advance!
