(I moved to Ireland from the US)

There's a housing crisis in Ireland too. A 2-bed in Dublin in an alright location is 2k+. Here's rents in Dublin: https://www.daft.ie/property-for-rent/dublin-city

Capital Gains in Ireland is 33%, income tax is high, and the quality of life isn't as high as mainland Europe. Just look at those apartments. Depressing.

If I were you I'd move to the Netherlands. The no-tax year is unbelievably good, nl is less car-dependant so you get to live a different lifestyle, and it's easier to tour around the rest of Europe. Ireland isn't even in the fucking Schengen!
