Things I wish I knew before deciding to move to Ireland/5 years in Ireland/2023 

One more thing! If you’re not a laid-back person, Ireland is not for you! Lol. 😆 BUT, if you love nature and castles, then YES! 💯 Also if you loooove fries or potatoes! Ireland is the place to be! Hahaha. 🙃

Ireland is an island off the coast of Europe. It has no natural resources like oil, gas, minerals - only food. It is mainly a farming community, of less than 5 million people that produces mainly food for mainland Europe. We have only a small manufacturing industry. As a result, most anything you buy in Ireland will cost anywhere between 10% to 30% more because it has to be imported. As an EU country we need to try to stay in line with richer countries like Germany and France - and our taxes - and benefits - reflect that but almost everything we buy from food to clothes to building materials comes from mainland Europe and this adds to our costs. In the 1920's we became independent from the British Empire and as a result, one of our laws included a clause that you need to have a licence to recieve broadcasts - originally a radio licence it became a TV licence - it's still called a TV licence but anything you own that can recieve broadcasts must be licensed... this means that our national radio and TV can remain independent of government interference and broadcast what they wish... this costs 160 Euro a year - a small coffee costs about 3 Euro, a busfare about 2 Euro and for this you receive independent news, weather and entertainment. You need one of these per household even if you only watch Netflix on your phone. We have no manufacturing industry and little or no oil or gas reserves, so driving and buying a car is expensive. Our country outside the cities is mostly rural so cars, car ownership and driving is a luxury, and taxed accordingly. Then there is also insurance - we need insurance because there are many uninsured unlicensed drivers on our roads, who when they cause an accident cost the country a lot of money in hospital bills, repairs and road damage. We have no history or tradition of living in cities, or apartments so accommodation is scarce, and expensive. Modernisation and new laws mean that there are few old or run down houses to rent cheaply, it is not easy to build a new house even if you own land, and many Irish people live at home in their parents houses, until they can afford to buy or build. Rents are high, the cost of living is high, transport is high and difficult, but - please come. Ireland is mostly a welcoming country, we like to see so many people from over the world who want to come and live here - but this is new for us - please bear with us and come. We need you and want to see you here.

Excellent video buddy, you seem to be racking up the subs and rightly so. Keep up the good work.

I love cold, gloomy weather! Ireland sounds like the perfect place for me ✨🥺

Very informative video. Just a suggestion, can you also make a vlog about the life of an international student (maybe do an interview) for those who are interested to go to Ireland and study. Keep it up!

Very good and informative video. 👍🏻

Thank you for your vlog, I noted everything you said 😊Just a suggestion, can you also make a vlog about the advantages in working and living in Ireland please ... 😊🙏 thank you!

Hi. Thank you for the headsup :) I would like to ask, are there other cities in Ireland that's less expensive (food, house rent, transpo)? Thanks!

Can I have that plant on the background. Miss you guys 😊

Informative Sir! Already here in Ireland 🥹🇮🇪

Very informative po. Planning to move from Dubai pero parang nagdadalawang isip na. 😅 Are you planning to stay there for good?

Is Ireland better than UK?

I am planning to work in Ireland after my studies here in Poland. Yes, you read it right, I am studying nursing in Poland. Do you have any idea how to apply to be a nurse in which my credentials are EU in origin? Pinoy po ako. hehehehe.

In Germany you have to pay for TV a monthly fee of around 17.5€ even if you don't have a TV 🤨

I don’t think this is an useful video at all. Most western countries in the eu are exactly the same.
