    Coming from UK.

    Bringing a car (1.4 corsa)

    Yes to occasional eating out, weekend drinks.

    I guess regular prices for gym, cinema, an idea of buying lunch at lunchtime or weekly shopping would help if anyone can help

    Hopefully live in cycling distance to work.

    Rent seems high so I'm hoping double ensuite in shared house for around 600.

    The cost of all of those massively depends on how often you use them and where you are going to be located. If you go to the cinema in town a lot then get a Cineworld card and if you don't need a pool at the gym then there is one in Phibsboro for €249 for the year I haven't been there doesn't look great from the outside but always seems to be people inside. You can get a decent enough take away lunch for €5 and have plenty of options lots of places do lunch deals around town.
