Moving to Ireland

gcpotter

My partner and I, and our 2 young children want to move to Ireland. (From the UK)
We need accommodation, jobs and schools etc.
I am looking for full time work pref as a coach driver, esp round ireland and europe.
Does anyone know where to start with this? We know the basics etc, but just dont know where to look, so we are open for advice etc.
(Even if someone knows of someone who has a job pref coach driving and maybe a house to go with the job etc.)

Thanks for your time and help!

I'm going to presume you're English as English people are the only ones I've heard refer to Ireland/Republic of Ireland as Southern Ireland. It's not called that.

You could try sites like Monster.ie for jobs too. Daft.ie and myhome.ie are useful for housing.

THE STATE

Article 4

The name of the State is Éire, or, in the English language, Ireland.

For schools, have a look at this page for the full listings of all Primary and Post Primary schools here.

exactly, in English it's Ireland, when have you ever heard someone saying Deutschland when speaking about Germany in English.

Jeez what a welcome. Fwiw, the Irish news refers to the Republic as Southern Ireland.

OK....I get the point.....all i want to know is about moving there, NOT the name history etc etc!!!!! Most british class it as Southern Ireland...And Belfast etc to be Northern!

So instead of anymore name lessons...Can Anyone Help With My Original Question?

I heard an add on the radio for Dublin Bus looking for drivers,not bad money IIRC.Not sure if coach driving is considered the same as bus driving but it could be a start.

http://www.dublinbus.ie/opportunities/jobs.asp?action=view&job_id=15 It's bus driving but the money is good and you'd be based in Dublin.

Indeed. Lads, there's no need to get uppity over the term tbh. I've edited the thread title, hopefully the rest of your responses will be helpful.

to the OP, What Country are you coming from?

Hi there. We are coming from Cambridgeshire in the UK.
Private messages are also welcome!

This the national bus fleet. Doesn't seem to have any vacancies at the moment.
Since you have experience driving in the UK, you might drive the Eurolines coaches.

Very well known company and they seem to have vacancies right now.
Maybe contact them.

Southern Ireland is not a term we hear very often so that's the reason for the lesson on the constitution.
People here are helpful though
