Moving to Tobercurry, Ireland

"Tobercurry is a small town in County Sligo, Ireland. It is a great place to live and has many points of interest. The people of Tobercurry are friendly and welcoming, and there are plenty of pubs and restaurants to enjoy. The town has an excellent transport network and is close to Sligo city and other towns in the region. The cost of living is relatively low in Tobercurry and the area has a homely, rural feel. It is important to familiarise yourself with the local culture and customs, and to remember that Irish is the main language spoken in the town. You should plan to bring appropriate clothing as the weather can be changeable, and be aware of the local laws and regulations. Healthcare services are also available in the area," said one expat in Tobercurry.

"Advice before moving is DO YOUR HOMEWORK! The things you pay for in your current home will be very much similar and yet some will be different, like the required annual TV license fee here. We made a list of everything we paid for in Florida; groceries, medical and dental, rent, utilities, clothing, personal care like hair cuts, transportation, etc, then did a comparison by communities in our new intended home area. In searching for a home don't rely on real estate sites and photos, like even on a good website like daft.ie. Check with the local Garda (police) and the local papers to do a historical check on the area. We do not recommend renting or buying anything unless you have first seen the neighborhood. What appears "picture perfect" on the internet can be quite a rude awakening when seen first hand. Look for a temporary housing like can be found TripAdvisor.com so you can explore a number of locations. Priority for us was transportation hubs like bus, which is great, or train," remarked one expat who made the move to Tobercurry.
