need to be hospitalised.

Is accommodation easy to find and how much would
one expect to pay?
Accommodation is reasonably priced in comparison to other European
cities. It is less expensive if you move away from the city
centre. If you are prepared to share with a group it is considerably
less expensive. On average, weekly rent is approx. 100 Euros.
We will offer lots of advice. Accommodation will be arranged
for you before you arrive in Ireland. This will only be temporary
accommodation and it will be necessary to seek your own accommodation
within 2 - 4 weeks. To find your own accommodation the best
sources are through your local newspaper, friends or work colleagues
or property management centres/local auctioneers. check out
www.daft.ie which
is excellent.
