We asked expats in Ireland what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"It is important to research the practicalities of retiring in Ireland. This will involve finding out about the healthcare, taxes and legal regulations. It is also important to consider the lifestyle options available in Ireland and to compare this with the kind of retirement desired. Consideration should be given to the cost of living, access to public transportation and local amenities. Learning the language can be beneficial to making the most of living in Ireland as a retiree. Depending on the desired location, different visas and residency permits might be needed. It is important to check the visa and residency requirements before retiring in Ireland. Retirees may consider joining clubs and organizations to make new friends, form social networks and take part in activities. Finally, those retiring in Ireland should be aware of the importance of succession planning to ensure that their wishes and assets are passed on in the way they desire," said another expat in Ireland.
