I am thinking of moving to Ireland in the mid spring I am needing to know where the most reasonable place is to live or maybe find some one to share the bills with after finding work.

It would help to know where you are from, as different nationalities have to apply for different visa. If you are an EU citizen, you do not need a visa at all. If you are Australian and under 30, there is a special 1-year visa you can get. If you are American you will have to be eligible under Ireland's 'in-demand occupations' list. See: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/employment/migrant-workers/employment-permits/green_card_permits/ If you are qualified in one of these areas, you can apply for a green card on your own behalf. Employers can apply for a work permit for positions they have been unable to fill from the national labour force. They must first offer these positions to workers from the EEA & Switzerland, then to workers in Bulgaria and Romania, and only if they have not filled the position at that point can they apply for a permit for workers outside these regions: http://www.entemp.ie/publications/labour/2007/guideworkpermits.pdf The list of occupations changes frequently, you should contact your local embassy for an up to date information pack. Alternatively, if you have an Irish parent or grandparent, you can apply for an Irish passport which will entitle you to live and work here for as long as you like. Accommodation is expensive everywhere, but Dublin is most expensive. Small country towns can be cheap, but may not have a lot of employment. Go to the town where you get work, as the economy is in recession and jobs are getting scarcer.
