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

FerFAL

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

Best weather is on the East Coast, southern half of. Warm, dry, even quite good land.

South County Dublin passes all the tests except Affordability. Co Wexford is serious contender, Co Wicklow also very nice.

If I won the Lotto I'd live in Blackrock Village - but shocking dear.

Neighbourhood of Greystones has much to recommend, including good transport links: Bray has nice areas as well as some rough patches. Around Enniscorthy is lovely too, but do check that your neighbours are friendly. [Kind of applies everywhere anyway]

Best of luck!

Dublin, definitely! Only for I bought a house 2 years ago, I'd be gone!

I was going to say Enniskillen for very similar reasons.

Otherwise, I wouldn't mind living for a while in Glengarriff. A grand spot to get the wind in your hair. Or a big ranch in D4 or D6.

I'd buy the blaskets and open a pub there with a thatched roof, a red timber door and shmoke billowing out the chimney. Inside I'd have some of Ireland's most obscure craft beers on tap. I'd generate power using a Listeroid engine and a couple of solar panels on the hen house. A donkey would be stationed outside to help visitors carry their bags back to their boat. I'll be keeping livestock in another part of the building, with the same kind of red door so the uninitiated would have no way of knowing which is which. Halfway through the year I'd switch them around

Hipsters would travel from all over the world to visit Ireland's remotest pub. I reckon it will do quite well, twould be a badge of honour to have a selfie of oneself inside in this pub.

What do you see in Blackrock village that no other place has?

I used to pass through there every day and it's a dump, the traffic is also desperate

I've always had a fondness for Bray. It's quite nice when the weather's good and you can't beat the amusements down at the pier. Failing that, I was informed today that there's a drive-in movie theatre in Dun Laorighe (or however you spell it).

O were I in the Moss House, where the birds do increase,
By the foot of Mount Leinster, or in some silent place,
By the streams of Bunclody, where all pleasures do meet…

Probably the only town in Ireland with a stream running down the centre of the main street. Lovely countryside around, very neatly kept, and sunnier weather than most of the country - though its economy has crashed in the last couple of years.

…and (for those who don't want to gamble their money away, but want to gamble and still have their money) the Prize Bonds are on every month!

Wexford sounds best for the OP. Apart from a nice view, nice weather, good shops and schools and so on, I'd be very inclined to check out the neighbours first.

Maynooth. It's quite and peaceful like the countryside yet still has most of the stuff you'd find in a good town. Plus there's loads of young college girls.

I don't think I'd fancy living outside Dublin. Anywhere else would feel claustrophobic.

Should that not be the other way around ?
