 | Moving to Ireland by Brendan Connolly
In recent years there has been a great increase in the number of people moving to, or returning to, the Republic of Ireland. In addition to a booming economy, Ireland offers a relaxed lifestyle, excellent educational system, rich cultural heritage, good benefits for retirees, and a strong sense of community. While picture postcard Ireland still predominates in the countryside, anyone making more than a casual visit needs to be aware of the realities of the modern nation. Dublin and the Shannon-Limerick area are becoming major cities and industrial regions. This essential reference describes the practicalities of moving to or investing in Ireland, from the basics of how to buy a house or set up a business, to what to expect from the health and educational services, the legal, accounting and banking systems and the many recreational pursuits that are available.
