No, I like Limerick it's so easy to get around....everything seems to be just a knife's throw from the city centre.DrMoriarty said:As this is not really about any particular location (location, location...), but rather about a Dublin vs. rest-of-Ireland lifestyle choice, I've moved it over to Shooting the Breeze.
I'm from Dublin, but living in Limerick (city), and I find life is quite a bit cheaper and a lot less stressful.
(Go on, someone ...crack the obvious joke!)

I reckon I probably see nearly as much of them as I would if I were living in Dublin — which on my salary would probably mean 20 or 30 miles outside Dublin, anyway...decembersal said:I was wondering do any of you who have moved to the country miss your friends and family, and have you found you are welcomed into the new community?

Pavlik said:This "down the country" business is incredibly silly. "Down the country" includes Navan, Glencolumbcille, Ring and Cork City. However, it does not include Skerries or Lusk. Surely Cork, for example, is not that much of a culture shock for the cosmopolitan Dub?
Henny Penny said:Cons
1. Roads are bad
2. You need to drive everywhere unless you live in a town ... there is no public transport.
3. When the weather is bad it's very hard to find something to do. The weather in Dublin is significantly better than the rest of the country ... and definately not as rainy.
4. Getting to/from the airport has to be added onto any flights ... and without public transport you will need your car.
5. Sports are limited. If you have a particular interest in a sport it may not be available locally.
6. You know what you're missing coming from Dublin ... and there will always be a suspicion about your presence in a rural area.
Good luck whatever you decide.HP
