Moving to Dublin

Got the opportunity for a move to Glasnevin with a new job, any advice. Whats the place like, is it a kip, there much to do there? Had a look at appartments n the place seems mad expensive!

 

Rent is expensive, 90% of it is a kip and the 10% that isn't is imaginary, you have made a grave mistake, I take pity on you and wish you well in your attempt to escape.



But seriously it all depends on the area you're in, there's always something to do if you're willing to travel into the city centre, rent is expensive in most places but I know * all about Glasnevin so I can't help you much. Where are you moving from ? what age are you ?

 

Haha, moving from falkirk which is a * shithole so its bound to be an improvement on here. It doesnt seem that far from the city centre but im guessin ye'd want to be a millionaiore to be out in the city centre on the *

 

Not really, the tourist places like temple bar and them areas definitely overcharge but there are some pubs surrounding the liffey that can be alright, I think there are a few north siders on here that may have a better idea of that area, I rarely cross the river when I'm in there so don't know much.

 

Glasnevin is alright. It depends on how close you are to Finglas. That's a rough spot .

 

Cheers man, id be lookin to keep away from the touristy places anyway, better of finding a wee spit n sawdust place n making that yer local. Is there much of a music scene going on in dublin?

 

Loads of good places in Dublin to catch live bands, whelans on Wexford street would prob be the best

 

Think its nearer the swords road, kinda glasnevin/drumcondra. Round about the DCU.

 

Cool, doesnt look to far from shelbourne, might have to start going to a few of there games aswell

 

*. That.

Pints are too expensive. Ireland in general is too expensive

Why don't you try Meath or Kildare and just commute like a mad yank?

 

Hahah * that man, couldnt be arsed commuitng every morning. Ill just drink cheap cider in the house before ah go out n be oout ma face n in ma bed by 10 each night

 

Its a kip, I lived there for a year and a half in a town called Blanchardstown. Couldn't wait to get out. Add to that the cost of rent and general day to day items doesnt make for a pleasant experience. Good luck

 

Not a fan of Dublin, myself.

 

Don't like Dublin or the people there.

 

Oh dear, lived in Galway and Mayo before n loved it in the west, take it the dubs are not well liked by the rest of the counrty, much like the glaswegians in scotland!

 

Glasnevin is a * of a lot nicer than blanchardstown in fairness. I work in Dublin( right beside Glasnevin ) and have no problems with most of the dubs . So wouldn't let that put you off. Rent is very expensive though , there are loads of pubs in and around drumcondra, great craic and it's mostly all folk from the country that drink in them

 

My missus' family are from Finglas and most of them live in Blanchardstown now. Highly entertaining reading these responses.

I actually like Finglas and Blanch and most of Dublin to be fair. Dubs are a pain at times when they want to be but generally I don't mind the areas mentioned.

Dublin 4 and the areas that think they're Dublin 4 are serious thorns in Ireland's side, however.

 

I thought we were friends ?

 

Ughhh. Dublin.
