    Didn't quite know where to post this one, but;
    Im a Norwegian from Oslo with a family; my husband and our daughter. We are a wealthy family and consider moving to Ireland, just because it seems like a wonderful country.

    I've heard that the irish people is not very happy over people from other communities moving to Ireland, but thats just gossip from my friend.

    So irish people out there; how are the general irish people to white "immigrants" who are catholics and wealthy, who dont move to Ireland to make money and move back to their own country but because they think Ireland's a nice country?

    Our whole family is speaking english.

    Ireland is a great country, especially with tourists, congrats on your wealth but like every country there is good and bad but obviously your a smart person you will obviuosly know that but i suggest if you are considering moving to Ireland choose your area try holiday there or live in a b&b in that area that you like and try work it that way as you will see the place for what it is really like rather than talking to a agency. I personally have the utmost respect for norwegians as you are a great people. I would do things that way also read up on jobs and work and our economy before you take a plung like you are thinking because you wealthy might be a thing of the past if our economy doesn't suit you and your wealth.

    Why not just come for an extended holiday, maybe a month and try to see as much of the place as you can, engage with the people you meet and judge for yourself, it's a good thing that your wealthy though because,as is tradition here in Ireland,we like to rip people off and take as much of their money as is possible.

    The fact that your wealthy white catholics shouldn't make it any more or less of an advantage to you.

    Personally, I think your mad! I wouldn't come here to live!
