"There are so many rewards to having retired to Ireland. We chose the western side for its outstanding beauty and calm, relaxing environment. Medical is amazing and once resident full time, the perks are nearly endless. Research is vital to know what an expat is expected to do to move to Ireland and don’t feel foolish asking questions. Never try to beat the system though. Do what is expected and all should go extremely well," said another expat in Tobercurry, Ireland.
"Getting to know, and to be welcomed by, so many warm, kind Irish people. Second is the spectacular scenery," wrote a member who made the move to Tobercurry, Ireland.
