A bit more info is needed to give you any sort of decent answer. Age, where you're working, type of accommodation, type of life you want to live etc etc

Hey well yeah i guess Letterkenny would be your best bet for a place to live. It is fairly central to everything and has most of the shops and facilities you need. Are you looking for an apartment or a house? one bedroom or more?

There are several estates around town (Sylvan Park and Ballymacool spring to mind) botha re a little bit out of town (2 minute drive) and there are others past the hospital too but can't think of the name of them. As for apartments Grand central i think are the best in town although if anyone knows of better i'm sure they'll correct me.

As for meeting people what type of hobbies have you? there is a photography club that meets maybve once or sometimes twice a month and myself and 2 others on here go to that. If you are into medieval stuff there is a trying to think of the right way to put this, battle reinactment but they focus more on tactics and styles rather than talking ye old fashioned way. Do a search for eireann edge to find them. Both of these have been mentioned on here before. There is a few other clubs around too and if you give your interests people will give their 2 cents.

Hope this helps and makes sense it's very early for me
