    Dublin is small, convenient, happy, fun. Oh and cheaper with higher salaries.

    London is big, depressing, expensive, dangerous, grim.

    I'm from Dublin and lived in London for 6 years. Just moved back to Dublin.

    Don't step foot in London now unless I have to. urgh.

    EU HQ's of all the top tech firms here too ;-)

    There is also Silicon Bandit Country at Newry.

    Which works up to the point you visit Newry and think for 2 seconds.

    For a time, Scotland had a "Silicon Glen".

    I never met him.

    started a topic Silicon Valley, Silicon Beach, now Silicon Docks.

    Silicon Valley, Silicon Beach, now Silicon Docks.

    Right place, right time, again!

    Dublin: Fortune describes it as being cheaper than London, with its low corporate tax rate. It also draws upon the 'Silicon Docks' area of the city, which is home to tech giants such as Google, Zynga, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
    Dublin named as one of best new global cities for start-ups – Fortune - Start Ups - Start-Ups | siliconrepublic.com - Ireland's Technology News Service
