Please use this thread to post any questions and concerns about life in Ireland in 2014. I am sure I speak for all TFK posters when I state that we want to make your reintegration into Irish society as seamless as possible.
A few pointers to begin with…
@The Wild Colonial Bhoy DoneDeal.ie will be your bible when it comes to sourcing bits and pieces for your fixie. www.fixie.ie is still unregistered so could be a nice sideline.
@caoimhaoin The personal trainer market is booming buts its filled with folks who know all about the exercise and very little about nutrition. Teaming up with a knowledgeable nutrionalist and you could exploit a gap in the market.

I’m not a personal trainer KP. Not that there is anything wrong with them an they have a very important role in modern society, but it’s not my role. I do see quite a few gaps in the irish market though.

Thanks for the help though.[/quote]
No panic. Where do you see yourself getting work when you return? Will you go the construction route or will you try and make a go of the sports stuff?

As to my knowledge of his return, it’s quite obvious to those in the know.[/quote]
I would say construction to get going. I have fancy ideas of having a Reno company, but I feel I’d need a year (at least) in Dublin working to get the run of the houses there and what’s involved in the renovation business specific to Dublin. I’ll take te S&C as it comes, let it grow organically (sorry for the shit talk, but it’s the best description), join a GAA club, maybe coach a club, do a good job, make a name for myself, take in a couple of clients, see how it goes. I would like to be involved in boxing too, I think there is great scope for the S&C in boxing. Also maybe advertise myself to schools in time, I think there may be an angle there as well. I’ll be 12 months getting the lay of the land anyway.
I hope you’re bringing back a wedge of cash to tide you over Kev-I pissed through some amount of savings when I first moved here. Ridiculously expensive place to live if there’s not much income coming in for the first few months.
I can imagine. To be honest I’m here a year longer than I wanted to be already for that exact reason. I want the switch to be extremely comfortable. But at the same time, I’d hope to be working within a month, I go a bit mad if I have too much time on my hands.
