also way more expensive (infact atm, alot of people from the south are coming to the north because everything is like half the price here) rainy, cold. not all that great tbh. the economy is also alot poorer and some parts are very remote and its literally like going back to living in the 60s or something. alot of irish people go 2 england for that reason. the only reason you think its great is because you aren't living there and its new and exciting

Lived in Dublin for a year, was quite nice. Liked it more than Belfast.

Dairy milk chocolate is different down south....it is much creamier and taste sooooo good. And if that isn't a good enough reason I don't know what is :smile:

No I wouldnt

places like ireland are OK for a short break but soon lose their novelty. in fact i give the majority of ireland 10 years before it is more than a one horse town, macdonalds have already invaded. :frown:

No, don't ever. I moved to Ireland when I was little and everything was so inconvenient (the school miles away, the corner shop more than 15 minutes on the A-roads) plus nearly everyone bitches about each other.

I'm not going back to live in Ireland untill I'm well ready to settle down.

I don't think it's a good place for young people who want to make their mark on the world.

I love Ireland. I'm proud to be Irish. But it's not exactly a metropolis.

And the recession in Ireland is/is going to be far worse than that in Britain. The country is f**ked for the next ten years at least.

That is Ireland defined in a sentence. Maybe it's different if you live in the city but I can't see anywhere in Ireland being 'different' (as in not depressing). Yeah, I'm a little bitter about home lol Everyone at home seems to be racist and homophobic, even people my age.

And about tax being lower? No way! The higher rate of tax (about 45%?) kicks in a lot lower than here when you're earning £100'000k +. My mum is taxed at the higher rate and she'd earn about €40/50'000 (I don't know what!) in the bank.

.....sorry, rant over :o:

lol, would you not have asked?

I grew up mainly in London and moved properly back to Ireland a few years ago. The people are so much nicer than the English it's unreal.
