A member on our Facebook Group recently posted a very valid point when he basically said that everyone has to do their research before they make the move. There is a lot about life in Ireland that one can't really grasp without knowing what life is like here.

Why are people so pedantic about calling it the Republic of Ireland and not Southern Ireland? How do you pronounce the Irish names? What if they speak Irish Gaelic (which they just call Irish or Gaelige) or even worse, what if you end up in Cork and they speak  English and you don't understand?!

How we decided on where to live in Ireland

Rather than tell our entire story I thought how we came to living where we are and our decision-making processes. 

We started putting feelers out around 2014-2015 about immigrating. Originally the plan was Australia where my family live in a teeny town in SW Australia and in Perth, but with our ages counting against us on points, and it all being just to scary on a 1-year work permit. We then looked at UK spousal visa (even though my husband and I had lived in the UK 7 years in the 90’s-2000’s, owned property there etc.) going back was now different and the previous Indefinite Leave to Remain for my husband had now expired.

Someone mentioned Ireland… and suddenly everything clicked into place. I started off watching simple YouTube videos about Ireland in the evenings. Instead of TV I was watching YouTube!
