Working in Ireland

Ireland offers strong opportunities in technology consulting, software, financial services, pharmaceuticals, cybersecurity, data and cloud computing, particularly around Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick. The culture is generally welcoming and informal, with good value placed on communication, teamwork and social connections. Ireland provides attractive access to nature, coastal areas, music, sport and a lively food and arts scene, although housing and rent can be expensive, especially in Dublin. Public transport is improving but many areas are easier to navigate with a car. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens can work without a visa. Non-EU applicants normally need an employment permit and must meet role, salary and eligibility requirements; a Critical Skills or General Employment Permit may apply, depending on the position. Applicants should confirm sponsorship and current immigration rules before accepting an offer.
