Our capital, well known for its cultural heritage and importance but also for its thriving economy.

Why relocate to Dublin?

Dublin offers a vast array of opportunities for everyone from students and grads to experienced and senior jobseekers. It has energetic and welcoming vibes and is home to people from all over Ireland and the world.

As Ireland’s capital city, we hear enough about the main attractions, cost of living and commute times, but there is so much more to this beautiful county. In fact, according to the CSO, the average commuting time is only 28.9 minutes thanks to the services offered by the LUAS, the DART and Dublin Bus, while the cost of living varies majorly in different areas. There are a number of areas outside of the city centre that offer an escape from the liveliness of the core, too, such as Blackrock and Howth – while St. Stephens Green, Dublin’s answer to Central Park, acts as a peaceful getaway in the heart of it all.

Whether it’s the exciting city life, the glorious coastline or the multicultural society you’re interested in, Dublin has it all.

Drumcondra is an area in North Dublin that is steeped in history and just a short commute from the city centre. It offers an insight into the old style of Dublin city while also offering a ‘buzz’ that comes from the three universities in the area.

It is easily accessible by train and bus, and located ideally between O’Connell Street and Dublin Airport making it an attractive location for those working in the city. On top of that, recent times have seen an influx of new businesses and food traders to give you a wide range of choices of delicacies.

The red brick houses of Glasnevin take you back in time through the old ‘fair city’ and highlight the character of the area. It is one of Dublin’s oldest and most famous inner-city suburbs, and also home to Croke Park. Croke Park is not only the headquarters of the GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) but also a symbol of Irish history, and it’s redevelopment in the early naughties was an example of how much Ireland, and Drumcondra, had grown and expanded.
