Moving from Ireland to Manchester (How Much?)

boxtie

I am making the move from Limerick to Manchester in about 8 weeks and expect to have about €3500 (£3000) in savings with me. To cover rent/deposits/food for a couple of months. In reality should I be bringing more, or will this be enough to keep me afloat for a couple of months until I get work?.

Hi @theemigrant I have not decided yet, Was hoping for as near centre as possible. Hoping my degree and experience in the IT/Services industry would help me find work but I would be easy with what I was doing. What kind of work have you going, and why do you need an Irish person?

Traveled for ten years and nothing beats Manchester! Stayed for two years.

Didsbury is a great spot. Every second person in Manchester is Irish!

Is O Neills still open?

It is but its under new management and the bouncers are utter W***k**s. They try and kick you out as soon as last orders is called. A Donegal man has the station across the road now, all the irish stations etc. It would be packed with maybe 30/40 young irish every sunday afternoon.

When I lived there they were always ****èrs. One thing I learned quickly in Manchester - dont piss the bouncers off!

Is the station the small one at the corner?
