Hi There

I'v been lucky enough to secure a job in Roscommon, but since I'm from Tipperary it means a big move for me Will be working in the town so any one got ideas for finding accomadation? I have tried daft but it only has 6 houses for share and some are out dated also whats the best way to meet people I'm 24 and usualy fairly social so will be looking to have a good time and make the best of this oppertuinity.

Thanks for reading

Welcome to Ros!!!

Do you play any sports? Best thing might be to take up a hobby or pastime.
Not much happening during the week unless you are in a club
