Accommodation in Ireland
Accommodation expenses in Ireland vary from place to place. For Example, apartments are more costly in big and busy cities like Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Galway, and cheaper in small cities with less population.
How to find an apartment?
- You can request your HR department to guide you regarding accommodation. Some HR do pay for temporary accommodation for a few weeks.
- Google search for contacts of auctioneers near your hospital and ask them to arrange accommodation for you.
- Post your requirements on social media (Facebook groups)
- Ask your friends if anyone is already working in Ireland, you might be able to sign a lease before coming to Ireland in that case. Please do not sign the lease if you don’t have any contacts in Ireland. Keep in contact with the prospective landlords and sign the lease after taking a look at the apartment.
- Book local hotels or Airbnb (in advance) for a couple of days, and search for your accommodation while you are in Ireland. Search on these websites.
