Working in Dublin

Dublin is the thriving capital city of the Republic of Ireland. It is on a par with many bigger European cities in terms of its vibrancy, its nightlife and its tourist attractions, and is the most popular entry point for international visitors to Ireland. As a city it is disproportionately large for the size of the country; almost a third of the Republic's population lives in the greater Dublin area. The centre is however relatively small and can be navigated by foot, with most of the population living in sprawling suburbs.

Ireland has enjoyed astonishing economic success over the past decade. The need for people with experience is high. Individuals with a year or more experience are in high demand. The working culture is fairly similar to that of London. People generally start at 8.30am and finish at around 6 - 6.30pm.

If you are from outside the European Union you will need to establish whether you are allowed to work in Ireland.
