Moving
to Ireland still has a lot going for it - for newcomers or those
returning after many years away.
Like many other countries - the Irish economy has slowed
down after several years of massive growth.
Irish house prices in 2011 have fallen by about 40% from their peak
- which is probably good thing for house buyers. The house price drop
appears to be slowing - and now may be a good time to think about
buying a home again.
In Ireland the personal taxation levels are amongst the lowest in
the OECD. For companies relocating to Ireland - the corporation tax
is still one of the lowest in the world at 12.5%.
Jobs are not as easy to find in Ireland than they were 3 or 4 years
ago . The construction sector was the main area of slowdown but many
major companies such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Ebay ,Facebook
HP,, and Intel have located their European headquarters in Ireland.

During a visit to Ireland by Barack Obama - Enda Kenny in his welcome
speech told the world about Ireland -
"Our unique, untouchable wealth. Wealth that can not be accumulated
in banks,
or measured by the markets or traded on the stock exchange.
Because it remains intact and alive, deep inside our people.
In the heart-stopping beauty of our country
and in the transforming currency of the Irish heart, imagination and
soul. "
The pace of life in Ireland is relaxed. Irish people seem to
know that life isn’t just about the stresses and strains that
we’re faced with daily, but rather about friends and family;
holidays and celebrations; a pint and a laugh with friends.
Ireland is still a relatively uncrowded island - with great
scenery and friendly people. Maybe your ancestors left Ireland
many years ago - like those of Barack Obama - and you now want
to return to your Irish roots.
Maybe you were born in Ireland and are thinking of going back
"home" or even retiring in Ireland.
Whatever your reasons - you should find some useful information
here to help you make the move.
