© 2002-2005		Tip: If you are moving to Ireland you should be able to keep your existing Credit Cards - just tell the providers that you are moving. You will need some way of paying it off - i.e a current internet bank account in the country you came from. This should not be a problem - it might be a good idea to get one set up before you move. It will be easier to pay off any old bills in your previous address.
