It’s a fact – for the first time in a long time the Irish are returning home from abroad with more people opting to put down roots back in their homeland rather than staying abroad, and less people emigrating. With employment opportunities improving all the time, many people see it as the perfect time to return home to loved ones and the culture they grew up in.
While travelling and experiencing different lifestyles is a great chance to see the world, inevitably the lure of home is always there especially for those who are ready to start a family and want their children to grow up as they did. According to recent statistics from the CSO (Central Statistics Office) the amount of people in employment is 20,000 higher than it was before the financial crisis, with unemployment down to just below 6% from a peak of nearly 15%.
There are the practical considerations to take on board once the decision is made to return home, not least of which is where to live. It could be the case of moving back in with parents or family as you research the opportunities open to you or give yourself the chance to save for a deposit.
