Work Visa or no? by dublinornothin
Hi all, I'll keep it brief - my mom was born and raised in Ireland. Came over to the US and had me 25 years ago. Now from what I've been reading, I'm automatically an Irish citizen of sorts (If someone wants to explain this to me, ...
Hi there. You have automatic Irish citizenship through your mother. You won't need a work visa, but will need to get your Irish passport before you come. Do not arrive without it, as it is the fundamental basis for everything you will need - ... Read More

Hi All My name is Nadia. I am 43 years old, divorced and have 2 sons aged 24 and 18. My company in SA is offering voluntary severance packages and I am thinking of taking it and moving to Ireland for a few years initially and perhaps ...
Hi Nadia - I was living in Ireland for 38 years, and after this, couldn't wait to get out. I am Irish, but I hate Ireland. The people there are so unfriendly (even to their own neighbors) that when you move there, unless you have a support ... Read More

I am Irish, and have lived here for 40 years. You should reconsider moving to Ireland. There are social problems in Ireland and it is a very hard place to fit in to. Not a lot of people like to admit this, but the Irish are very racist, and ... Read More
Impossible to get car insurance in Ireland by TamsinCraddock
Hi Everyone, I am desperate for help here. I have recently bought a car in Ireland and have since been trying to get car insurance. At first we couldn't get any insurance company to even give us a quote, we then had to use the declined cases ...
You didn't give any information as to WHY you are finding it hard to get insurance. Are you a disastrous driver, with any convictions? Are you an immigrant? The insurance ombudsman should have been able to help you, and there is a lot you can ... Read More

Guys, the credit unions are much more user friendly to new comers. A lot of foreigners use them to start off, and once you have a history with them, changing shouldn't be such a big deal. Just a suggestion. Read More

Once the contracts have been sent to your solicitor, the conveyancing will be done by your solicitor. However, a repetitive issue with solicitors (world wide, not just in Ireland) is that they are usually very helpful to you at the beginning, until ... Read More

In my opinion, it's a really silly thing to do to ask a UK lawyer to deal with this - the UK laws may differ from Irish conveyancing laws. The title deeds to the property have to be released by the bank directly to the buyer's solicitor, ... Read More
