Hi,
I am considering moving my family to Ireland from the US. I'm thinking about Cork as it looks to be more affordable and have warmer weather compared to Dublin. We've never even been to Ireland, but I've always wanted to travel, and Ireland is top of the list.
We own a small business here but would need to get "real jobs" once we move. My husband is a master window tinter. I'm actually changing everything, including careers, and will be getting certified as a nursing assistant before moving. Our oldest son will be looking for entry level work in the IT field.
We also have two younger sons, so we need to know about schools and childcare as well.
I've been researching everything as best I can, but I'd really like to hear from people who live in Ireland, native or ex pat, what I can expect. Anything and everything you care to share from housing to schools to job market, cost of living, buying a vehicle... whatever. It would really help me make some informed decisions before dragging my family around the world unprepared.
Thanks.
