Best Cities for Expats

No matter where you choose to settle for work abroad in Ireland, it’s bound to be beautiful.

Dublin. The Irish capital is sometimes referred to as a “City of Villages.” It is an apt nickname for Dublin, where each neighborhood is as distinct as the next. As the capital city, job opportunities exist in almost any industry you can think of. Dublin’s stock as a tourist destination is high and rising; thus, it’s not surprising that international jobs in Ireland in the tourism and service industries are plentiful. 

Galway. Known as “Ireland’s Cultural Heart,” Galway is a cozy town situated on the west coast of Ireland. Among the cobblestoned streets of the city center, you’ll find an intangible energy reverberating from the cafes, pubs, street musicians, and the waters of the River Corrib. The city sees strong employment in the commerce, manufacturing, and tourism industries.

Cork. Every capital city needs a rival and Cork is Dublin’s. Located in the south of Ireland, it is the second-most populous city in the country. The most prominent industry employers are in pharmaceuticals, featuring companies like Pfizer and Novartis, while there are quite a few IT employers as well, such as Apple and Logitech.
