EY is a global professional-services organisation providing assurance, consulting, strategy and transactions, tax, and technology-related services. Its clients include multinational corporations, public bodies, financial institutions, and growing businesses. EY operates through an international network of member firms and employs professionals across many countries, including Ireland. The firm places strong emphasis on building trusted client relationships, developing its people, supporting inclusive workplaces, and helping organisations respond to technological, regulatory, and economic change. In Ireland, EY has offices including Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, and Waterford, with opportunities across professional services, business support, technology, and corporate functions.

Ireland offers strong employment opportunities in technology, financial services, pharmaceuticals, professional services, healthcare, construction, and multinational business operations. Dublin is the main international employment hub, while Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford also provide growing career markets. Irish workplace culture is generally collaborative, approachable, and relationship-oriented, with English widely used in professional settings. Lifestyle benefits include attractive coastal and countryside locations, a lively cultural scene, and good access to Europe, although housing and rents—particularly in Dublin—can be expensive. EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens can work without an employment permit. Most non-EU nationals need an employment permit, commonly sponsored by the employer, and must meet relevant salary and occupation requirements. Before relocating, candidates should check immigration rules, accommodation availability, taxation, healthcare access, and transport options. Ireland’s climate is mild but changeable, with frequent rain.
