Moving to sligo

I've been offered a job in Sligo with Stiefel in the Finiskillin business park to start in a few weeks. I don't know Sligo so have a few questions: 1. Where would be the best place to find accommodation in the area (local papers etc.)? I'd like to live close enough to the business park for convenience. Is this area…

I've been offered a job in Sligo with Stiefel in the Finiskillin business park to start in a few weeks. I don't know Sligo so have a few questions:

1. Where would be the best place to find accommodation in the area (local papers etc.)? I'd like to live close enough to the business park for convenience. Is this area alright? Is it a bit dodgy cause it's near a business park? I have a car so can live further away but would prefer to be able to walk to work.

2. Does anybody have any experience with this company? It's a good job with full training so I'm keen to take up the position, but don't know anybody working there.

3. Would like to join a gym that would be convenient to the job and where I'd lay my head. Any suggestions for a good gym?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

1. daft.ie covers sligo, there are 2 local rags Sligo Weekender, Sligo post that cover flat listings. On the side of town for Finisklin you could rent on 1st/2nd sea road or better still in Strandhill, great spot over the summer with good pubs, the surf and beach on your doorstep. Finisklin is a straight road in in the mornings for 15 mins little traffic.

Theres also the Sligo Champion newspaper.
Theres an old thread here about gyms:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055088241&referrerid=59211
Some of the info might be out of date now.
The IT gym would probably be the nearest to Finisklin.
I'm not sure if theres a gym in town anymore, there used to be one near McDonaghs shop but I think its gone, someone else might know for sure.

The Gym in the Southern would probably be closer but I don't know how good/bad it is.

Nice houses around Kevinsfort and Farmhill. Rathedmond might be a bit cheaper. There's gyms in the Southern, Sligo Park, Radisson, IT and Clarion. It's a nice area. Wouldn't be much trouble (as in muggings, wheeley bin thefts, noisey drunks).

That would depend entirely on the actual contents. Food packaging, vegatable peelings and nappies and I would imagine the whole thing may just be taken for a spin. If you're more likely to throw out laptops, priceless Monéts and the odd Fabérge egg, the contents may from time to time, be stolen.
