    Been quite awhile since I last lived in Ireland (just a few miles south of Cork) and plan to move back in the next 3-6 months and am looking for some info on Cork please. Should explain I am Swedish and live in the UK, but moving back to Ireland this time will include my wife and child too, so I'm a bit out of touch as to what is what in Cork these days.

    What areas should I be looking for when getting a flat in "Cork"?

    What areas should I stay away from?

    I have an adsl 4mbit connection with unlimited download for ~£25 a month and wonder if there's anything close to this in Cork (solid/good speed and if not unlimited, then at least 30 gig download a month) ?

    What "good" secondary schools are there in Cork (and bad) ?



    A lot is unknown at this point and I am sorry having to have asked these general questions, but I have been unable to pick up this info via the net so far and thought perhaps it was time to just check here instead.


    TY in advance!!!
