    It depends on the rate of exchange.

      Get in touch with some Irish agents, get your LinkedIn profile up to date.
      You will not know until you try.

        You are of course correct. Am on the case.

            Existing companies have a lot of work, things that were in the pipeline now have funding.
            But like the city, if you don't have a good match on skill-set they will not talk to you.
            Also be prepared to do some kind of on-line or phone teck interview before the phone interview.

            This is the complete opposite of what I saw on a recent program. Younger generation leaving on mass as there is no work, painted a terrible picture of a country without hope or a future.

              Education leavers and workers from throw construction industry are leaving in depressing numbers. Certain industries are doing well.

                True... but the exchange rate is not so great at the moment (compared to the same time last year). Still, if it's where the work is and the rate is acceptable then it's probably worthwhile going for.

                  Its a cycle that's been happening for years, though the economy will take some time to pick up after the celtic tiger debacle, but it will get there eventually.

                  Every 20 years it seems there is a huge dip in the economy followed by a lot of emigration, followed by a gradual pick up.

                    Dublin is blooming expensive too mind you!

                    Have family there, lovely place to live/work though.

                      It's legit all right - even if getting off to a slow start. It's a big international client.
                      I won't give you the Co. name, so best contact the agent (via the OP) if interested.

                      I don't use job boards, but it may be advertised on there.

                      Good luck and DYOR.
