A couple of questions on Ireland?

Gone Riding HPTS asked:


I currently live in America, but I dream of moving to Ireland one day. The lifestyle here is so fast paced, everybody has something to do, somewhere to do, its like nobody takes a moment to take a deep breath, and smell the flowers. Not to mention the fact that America is so blame for a generous proportion of the global carbon emissions. Its suitable for some people, I just don’t fit in here much. I’d rather wake up, go out and work in the barn, and slow down for awhile…or permanently. So, I have a couple of questions…
1) What types of businesses would be most successful in Ireland?
2) Is property extremely expensive, or somewhat affordable? (Probably Galway, its beautiful there)
3) Is horse ownership common there? (I’ve been riding since I was 10, I have a passion for horses. In America, at least where I live, horse ownership is considered an activity for the ‘rich’)
4) Are ‘green’ (environmentally friendly) practices common in Ireland?
5) Anything else?

Thank you so much, have a wonderful day

Jose

    1)As the one above me said, anything really. I dont really know much about it though….

    2)property is very expensive in built up areas and tourist spots near beaches and stuff. I live in a rural area, but we have beaches, so tourists come in summer. Houses are very dear because of the holiday homes. A 3 bedroom house could cost €350K, but because of the recession, up to €100K has come off these.

    3)Horses are veery common. you can buy a field, rent one, or keep your horse at a local stable

    4)”green” practices are becomin very common. For example in some places its compulsory to sort your litter.

    5)nope. If you need to know anything ya can ask me.

    Oh yea, and workin in a barn is hard work! You could set up a small farm though and grow vegetables, keep a few animals…..

    Don’t think Ireland is as you see it.It is just as bad as any other city and just as fast paced.
    a)at the moment no businesses is good in Ireland unless the airlines flying people to Australia.We are in recession people are leaving Ireland quicker then you can blink
    B)No where in Ireland is cheap to buy especially the cities.There has been a massive surge on people applying for social and affordable homes all over the country cause they cannot afford to buy.
    C)horse ownership in the country is very common.I have family in Kerry and they have horses as do all their neighbours.
    D) green yes to some degree.we have recycling bins and waste bins in the city.Also we will have to use energy bulbs only.
    E) Ireland is probably not the picture postcard ideal as you may have.Think alot of people coming to Ireland especially Americans(no offensive ) have a very unrealistic view of Ireland.We are like any other country in Europe,corrupt,and fast paced.The stopping to take a breath , smell the flowers and work in a barn does not happen in Ireland only in Maeve Binchy Books.That was Ireland in the 50’s.Ireland 2009 very different and like anywhere else
