    help! My husband and I really want to move to Ireland. My parents are irish and we have done many holidays so know the feel of things. Is there anybody who has moved to Ireland from England if so can you answer any of the following queries?

    1) I know places are different to live in when its not a holiday-has anybody regretted moving to Ireland and was it all you dreamed of!

    2) I am a nurse,so shouldn't have a problem with employment,but my husband is a printer who in England would now have difficulty obtaining employment. Is there a big print industry in IReland?

    3) Education-how have you found it-I have a 3 year old.

    Any other comments,advice or info would be gratefully appreciated.
    We want a better a quality of life for a family and wander if Ireland can offer this to us!

    Many thanks

    1) Ireland is certainly different living there versus a holiday.

    It has become a very expensive place to live in especially if you want to buy a home. ( Ref: http://www.propertysearchnow.com/irelan ... reland.htm )

    2) Print industry is very competitive so getting a job in it may be difficult. Plus there's been a flood of people moving there from eastern europe that are prepared to work for low rates.

    3) You would need to book a school place well in advance.

    Think twice! Ireland for a holiday is great but it's a bit of a rat race to survive there. Good luck.
