How long a commute would it be if you took the job and stayed in Cork?

 

[Eoin]

Where's the job? And where do you plan on living?

A lot depends on both of the above tbh.

If you're living in the right place its brilliant up here. Living out in fucking Blanchardstown or some other hole of a place is shite.

If the job and money are better then go as there are some nice parts up in Dublin.

 

[Mrs.Blonde]

live in Dundalk.. commute to the airport...

Thats not really Dublin.

Do you know Dundalk? It's a bit of a kip.

Pretty sure you will have to pay the toll on the M1 everyday as well.

Remember that the higher cost of living will eat into some of the financial gain.

TBH I reckon once you've made the decision to leave, you may as well go abroad. It's not like you'll be back from Dublin to Castletownbere every weekend. Cork is a tough enough trek.

I lived there for a year and became very fond of it. Mind you it took a year to settle in and make friends etc. Plus there are more cultural things to do if your'e into that, museums, art galleries

The cost of things in Dublin has come down an awful lot. It's no more expensive than Cork tbh.

It's a dump. The guidebooks and ibal are right: between civil servants and spongers, nearly half a million wankers living on borrowed money that the rest of us will have to pay back! Have a nice life.
