US/UK Family Fleeing to Ireland

7 years ago
British born and bred, I have lived in Michigan since 1999.

I'd looked into Irish citizenship for me and my son after the UK's EU exit vote, as I wanted my son to have the same options in his bright future as I had.

Now after the vote to install the orange one in the US, we're bringing to an abrupt halt my 17 year life in the US. It's because we don't want our son growing up in a country that would vote him into power.

Please note: Not here for a political discussion, whether you agree with our decision or not, please keep on topic.

We are of limited means but both adults are hard working and can adapt to any customer service type position especially one with a heavy IT element. I can speak German fluently and can dabble in other European languages.

We're thinking that living close to Dublin would make sense for the larger number of opportunities, although I'd love to be close-ish to Derry where my da is from.

Any thoughts on where we should look for our family to have a good landing in the Emerald Isle?
