Its consulting practice helps organisations modernise technology, improve operations and manage complex business change. EY’s AI and Data teams support clients with data strategy, cloud transformation, analytics, machine learning, generative AI and responsible technology adoption.

Working in Ireland

Ireland offers strong opportunities in technology consulting, software, cloud, data, cybersecurity, pharmaceuticals, financial services and multinational operations, particularly in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick. The culture is generally friendly, conversational and community-oriented, with a strong social life centred on pubs, music, sport and festivals. Ireland provides good access to coastline, countryside and outdoor activities, although housing costs and availability—especially in Dublin—can be challenging. Public transport is improving, while car ownership is more useful outside major cities. EEA and Swiss citizens can generally live and work without a visa. Non-EEA candidates normally need an employment permit, with eligibility depending on the occupation, salary and employer; senior technology roles may qualify under skilled-worker routes. Candidates should secure a written offer, check permit requirements and budget carefully for accommodation, healthcare, transport and relocation expenses.
