If you could live anywhere in Ireland, where would you live?

FerFAL · 30-04-2015 03:37PM #1

Hello everyone, i'm looking for some advice/insights. Basically I have two questions.
1)If you could live anywhere in Ireland, where would you live and why?
2)If work wasnt that much of a concern, and you wanted to focus more on having a)good schools for the kids b) affordable rent and cost of living c)dry & sunny weather (within Irish standards of course!), where would you live?
Any advice would be very much appreciated people.
kind regards,
Fernando

Donegal. The schools teach us stuff, you'll always have as much work to do as you want as long as you aren't fussy about getting paid, and the sun always shines when there's no clouds.

Isn't Donegal in the Arctic circle?

No. We are in the temperate ring.

Outside the OP's window. In the bushes. Yes, those bushes right there. See me? That's not my hand I'm waving with ...

Yep, and in the summer you can ride the bumper cars in Barry's, eat soggy grease from Mr.Chips, snort loyalist coke in Kellys and dander up the road for yellow man.

Heaven indeed.

At least they're not danderin' up the road to see the yellow man! :P:confused:

I'd live in a house, a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats
And the food I'd eat in the country
I'd take all manner of pills
And pile up analyst bills in the country
It's like an animal farm,
Lots of rural charm in the country

To eat the yellow man my friend, to eat.

In a little cottage, on a little hill somewhere in Connemara, near a lake and the sea. I'd while away my days wandering around the place, enjoying its savage beauty and pondering existence.

Trudiha · 30-04-2015 04:09PM

I'd stay in West Cork, obviously, however, I'd swap Cork City and Dublin round.

Thanks, an actual reply. I'm actually leaning towards Wexford already.
I'm just looking for a good, safe place. I'm looking for somewhere affordable but nice, which I know can be challenging, on the other hand I'm not job-restricted to a given place, so that means more options.

Any kid north of the Mournes that hasn't tasted yellow man washed down with a can of warm Tennent's (or Ritz for the ladies) on a muggy, wasp infested August Tuesday hasn't lived at all

Roundstone in Connemara. Clonakilty or Westport. Beautiful towns.
