Sorry to ask such a stupid question. We are getting much closer to relocating to Ireland (even though the Australian dollar is dropping like a stone and our budget is being squeezed tighter by the day). How does one manage without having a bank account when one first arrives in Ireland? Does one need to use a Cash Card (e.g. Ozforex) like we did when we recently travelled to Europe, i.e. one puts in a certain amount and just withdraws cash as one needs it. I feel really stupid asking such a question but I think my head is full of things to cross off the list. Everything that one has to do before making such a momentous move is really quite overwhelming. I thought I could open an account from here but no, apparently not. Help!
