Reasonably priced accommodation to rent outside of Dublin

Hi and welcome.

Your question is almost the perfect oxymoron; one thing we consistently hear from Expats is the dire shortage of affordable accommodation in the Dublin area.

Perhaps go through your company and see if any future colleagues have anything that may help you?

Sorry that I've not been able to help.

Welcome

The wage in Ireland may be better than the UK, but if you take into consideration that the cost of living in Ireland is a lot more than the UK (14% more!), you will have to weigh up the pros and cons in moving across.

Dublin has overtaken London as the more expensive city to live in due to the strength of the euro and weaker sterling.

Dublin is ranked 19th out of 133 cities, while London has fallen to 30th place, its lowest ranking in 20 years.

The survey by The Economist Intelligence Unit said the weakening of sterling since the Brexit vote had pushed the UK capital down the rankings.

Last year, Dublin was ranked slightly cheaper than London, ranking 25th in the survey, while London was ranked 24th.

London’s fall means it is now 9% cheaper than Dublin and 30% cheaper than Paris, the survey says.
