EY operates across more than 150 countries and supports clients with growth, risk management, digital transformation, sustainability and regulatory challenges. In Ireland, the firm has major offices in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford, serving multinational companies, banks, insurers, investment firms and domestic businesses. Its Financial Services practice focuses on banking, insurance, wealth and asset management, and related regulatory and finance priorities.

Working in Ireland

Ireland offers strong opportunities in financial services, consulting, technology, pharmaceuticals, healthcare and professional services, with Dublin as the main employment hub. Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford also have growing business and technology sectors. Irish workplaces are generally collaborative and relatively informal, while communication tends to be friendly, direct and relationship-oriented. The lifestyle combines lively cities, historic towns, music, sport and easy access to beaches, mountains and countryside. Housing, particularly in Dublin, is expensive and competitive, so securing accommodation early is important. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens can live and work without a visa. Non-EEA nationals normally need an employment permit and an appropriate immigration permission; eligibility depends on the occupation, salary and employer. Critical Skills or General Employment Permits may apply, but the specific role should be checked against current government criteria. New arrivals should arrange a Personal Public Service number, Irish bank account, tax registration and private accommodation before or soon after starting work.
