Precipitation falls throughout the year, but is light overall, particularly in the east. The west, however, tends to be wetter on average and prone to the full force of Atlantic storms, more especially in the late autumn and winter months, which occasionally bring destructive winds and high rainfall totals to these areas, as well as snow and hail. The regions of North Galway and East Mayo have the highest incidents of recorded lightning annually (5 to 10 days per year). Munster in the south records the least snow with Ulster in the north more prone to snow. Some areas along the south and southwest coasts have not had any lying snow since February Inland areas are warmer in summer, and colder in winter - there are usually around 40 days of below freezing temperatures (0 °C/32 °F) at inland weather stations, but only 10 days at coastal stations. Ireland is sometimes affected by heat waves, most recently 1995, 2003, 2006. Ireland is multilingual but predominantly English-speaking, with Irish, the first official language of the Republic, the second most commonly spoken language. In the North, English is the de facto official language, but official recognition is afforded to both Irish and Ulster-Scots language. All three languages are spoken on both sides of the border. In recent decades, with the increase of immigration on an all-Ireland basis, many more languages have been introduced, particularly deriving from Asia and Eastern Europe, such as Chinese, Polish, Russian, Turkish and Latvian. Prices can differ greatly depending where you eat, this is a rough guide (priced per person): Fast Food / Take-away - € 6 Lunch Menu - Pub / Small Hotel - € 10 Lunch Menu - Restaurant - € 15 Evening A la Carte - € 25 Evening Top Class Restaurant - € 60 Prices do not include wine which can range from € 12 and up per bottle. Rents in County Kildare - being close to Dublin - are fairly high 3-bed semis are renting for around €900, while two-bed apartments can be up to €850 per month, depending on the location and condition of the property. In Cork City - rental prices are about 750 euro a month for one bed apartments up to 980 for a 3 bed house and 1400 for a 4 bedroomed house. In counties Cavan and Monaghan a 3 or 4 bedroomed house an be rented for €800 per month. In County Meath - in places like Enfield which is in the Dublin commuter belt a typical three-bed would cost from €850 to €950 per month. In the west of Ireland in county Clare - towns like Ennis are growing steadily and rents for a four-bedroom semi-detached home is around €850 to €900 per month. Counties Longford and Roscommon are not as popular and you could expect to pay around €600 to €750 per month for a three-bed semi. In Dublin, the southside continues to command the highest rents, with Dublin 2, 4 and 6 being the most expensive areas in which to rent residential property. Prices can range from 700 euro a month for a studio/bedsit , to 1000 euro for a one bedroomed apartment or 1100 to 1200 for a 2 bed apartment. A 3 or 4 bedroomed house in Dublin 8 can cost from 1400 to 1800 euro a month. Areas like Ballsbridge, the city center south of the Liffey and Rathmines remain ever popular among Dublin tenants. Lower rents and better availability can be found in West County Dublin, in places like Lucan and Blanchardstown, which have a large number of rental properties. $4.78 USD for petrol (gas).

Ireland is a brilliant place to live. Although it's wet and windy most of the time-there's always a silver lining. Green fields, blue sky (not all the time) and beautiful beaches.

umm .. well the weather isnt great. it rains a lot and isnt very warm. im only 14 so im not quite sure on the exact price of living but i do know that it is super expensive. :) but there is a great sense of community in each parish. GAA is definitely still going strong and people are so passionate about it. the grass is really green and the people are friendly. its easy to get to other EU countries and we speak english. the health system is terrible but the education is world class. our country is rich in culture - irish dancing, irish language, irish sports. everyone is proud to be irish. so we live in a country where it rains and it pours but there isnt tsunamis or famines or wars .. :) hope that gives you an idea of what it is like to live in ireland ..

at the moment not great, Our house prices are high. our weather is nasty and wet and everything is too expensive even the alcohol . the public transport system is also a joke . jobs are in short supply at the moment so i wouldnt realy recommend moving here just yet. it can be a very friendly place but like anywhere in the workld we have our slums and no go areas. for the last few years there has been a struggle for power in the gangland and alot of assasinations and people getting shot and murdered but these are not things that a tourist will witness. in all its a nice place for a holiday once you dont mind the weather but not a place id recommend living. Im 100 % Irish and lived here all my life but ive lived abroad at certain stages too so i know what is good and what is bad
