I'm not too sure but it would certainly help if you were a skilled worker. See the thing is job prospects right now are very low and it would be considerably harder for a non EU citizen to get work, unless you've a rare qualification. I've googled for a link but they don't look that helpful, but somebody here will probably get you one

First thing you need to do is either secure a visa to live & work in the Republic of Ireland or if you have a parent (in Ireland's case a grandparent will do as well) who was a citizen of an EU member state you could try to secure citizenship/passport of that country - citizens of most EU member states can move freely within the EU & settle where they wish but there are restrictions on the movement of some country's citizens such as Bulgaria & Romania, it varies from country to country. These links will have information on moving to Ireland: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/moving-country/moving-to-ireland Working in Ireland http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/moving-country/moving-to-ireland/working-in-ireland contact information for the Irish Embassy in the US http://www.embassyofireland.org/home/index.aspx?id=30782

Sure you can live here - but forget about getting employment for a while. At the moment, jobs are disappearing fast. You would not get your residency/work permit right now unless you have a very rare skill that's in high demand. I suggest googling 'working in the EU' to find out what you need to do, generally Americans have to get the job offer first, then they can apply for a residency/work permit - no job offer, no permit.

Where can I find families to live with in the western part of Ireland

Where can I find families to live with in the western part of Ireland?
I'm trying to work on my Irish language skills. (I'm an American.) And I was wondering if there were any organizations that allowed students to travel to Ireland and live with a family in an Irish-speaking community. Thanks.

I'm sure there are. You could find the address of a school in, say, Dingle, and send a letter to the school principal, asking if you could board with an family that speaks Irish at home. The best way to getting the contact details of a school anywhere is to use the telephone directory: www.goldenpages.ie. Good luck!
2 :
The best thing to do is go the the "Gaeltacht". Here you can study the Irish language. Just Google it, or go to education.ie and you'll find a list of areas. The college will set you up with a family, or "Bean an Ti" to live with.

Tá Gaeilge go h-iontach againn! Now M.D. you can always come live with our family in Ballydung. It's just meself and the brother but we're a proper family right enough. Just one or two stipulations - you must be a female of course, and over the age of 18. PS Just to make sure, you're not Michael D Higgins by any chance? Cos if ya are you can go find another family to spout your 'poetry' to! Sher you're only trottin after William Topaz McGonagall

There's a month-long summer program through NUI Galway that's quite good. They place you (and several other students) with a local Gaeltacht family and you attend formal classes each day. The website is here: http://www.nuigalway.ie/international_summer_school/irish_language.html

go to your university housing office and ask for homestay listings. they will assist you in finding the right family. i did that in undergrad school in california.

Hi there, Basically, there are two options: 1) Find a host family on your own, for example at http://www.homestaybooking.com/homestay-ireland, or at http://www.homestayweb.com/euhome.html 2) Enrol in an Irish course in Ireland with homestay. One of these programmes is offered by Languages Abroad, available at http://www.languagesabroad.com/livelearn.html Another one is the one offered by the Lehman Institute, but it's designed for complete beginners: http://www.lehman.edu/lehman/irishamericanstudies/NUIG06.htm I hope this helps for a start! Cheers S
