We currently have about 50-70% unemployment in the construction industry. I wouldn't hold out much hope right now. The majority of Irish construction workers have emigrated.

Get your wife to learn English first and she will have no problem finding work. We have a very large food industry especially with alcohol, beef and fishing.

Those are the exact jobs that we have a shortage of.

I knew it was a matter of time before other potential immigrants (emigrants, from our perspective) would spot this topic. :-)

Apropo the rent issue, I've checked the rents and, if I am correct, the lowest rents in house sharing go around 400€. So I believe I could easily find a decent place for up to 550€.

I wouldn't mind commuting at all if the sum of rent in a commuter-town/village and the price of the monthly train ticket was less than the rent in the city plus the bus fare. Or if the place in the commuter town was nicer than the equally priced (train ticket included) place in the city. Or something like that, I don't know yet about the routes I'd be taking. But I don't think it's all that expensive considering the salaries, and, more importantly, the opportunities.

Also, I find Dublin beautiful and living there is much more fun than living in the country in the long term, although I of course want to experience the country as well.

This should help you - QQI (Quality and Qualifications Ireland)

Google QQI dot IE . ( I cannot post links as I am a new user but it's easy to find)

It's an Irish State agency that provides certificates showing the equivalent Irish level of education. You can show this to employers along with your degree and notarized translations.

It adds legitimacy to the degree by having an Irish government body recognize it as legitimate.

No problem.

Just to be clear, the part of the website of interest to you is on their homepage under "What we do", look for Recognition-of-Foreign-Qualifications.

A bit off topic, but I've worked for years with a Croatian IT subcontractor. Best programmer I've ever worked with.

He was over here a few years ago and I spent 2 weeks this summer in Vrsar, where we had a great time. You have a beautiful country with lovely people.

A croatian girl lived in my house while she looked for a job. After a month she found a live in job in Limerick with a couple who wanted their children to know the father's language.

Got it. I will be applying as soon as I research all the steps in depth. Thank you!

So, you are a renter? In/near Dublin by chance?
