Moving to Ireland

FIRE

Hi, My girlfriend is going to be moving to Ireland next year and Im/were trying to find out as much as possible.

She's a nurse and wants to find out about pensions,tax, etc all the stuff you need to know.

I'd appreciate if anyone has any links to websites as I/we need to look and research this in detail

If anyone wants to give first hand accounts of a similiar move that would be nice also.

Thanks

Sorry forgot to say.

She's from the England, working in oncology and by all accounts the NHS aint all that good.

Plus she wants to be WITH ME Aint that a good enough reason for moving here. I was considering going the other way, but she fancies a move, so what can I do. Most people in the UK see moving to Ireland as a good move, from the people I've spoke to anyway.

Thanks All for the information, I didnt even know there was a nursing website.

Well I was the one planning on moving first, i had decided that i wanted to go to be with her. Then she decided that she had her heart set on moving over here.

She told me that, she was talking to someone who was Irish and living in the UK, and they decided to move back to Ireland and even with all the expenses here it would work out cheaper to move back.

Most of the people I speak to when Im over were asking if I'd move to the UK or get my girlfriend to move to Dublin. They said that I'd be mad to go and live in the UK, and that they'd much prefer to live in Ireland.

16 years is a long time tman. If you have any information, regarding your move, I'd be very interested in hearing from you. Things we should need to know.

Thanks again .

Not from where I am sitting, most people would view it as a terribly expensive move (especially to Dublin) but that really depends on how affordable a place that they are moving from.

Sorry I'd put you @ about 40+ years of age.

Maybe your parents might have a bit of info, next time you speak with them.
(Although I hope I havent put my foot in it and your parents arent dead)

I agree!! But it's swings and roundabouts really. Aint it!!

There's benefits to moving to England that I can see, but she'll get paid more as a nurse in Dublin.

She would need to check with An Bord Altranais if her qualifications will be recognised here I think she will have to register with them to work here.
