moving to another european country?

It can be great to move, and then live abroad, but without wanting to put a dampner on it, there are also a lot of people who do it and then return home within the first couple of months having spent loads of money uprooting to another country, and then back again. It really is true about the grass looking greener on the other side, but not always being the case

Each country has its own issues. So I would say, read up on each, read about the economy and especially the job situation for non-native speakers (e.g. how many Brits go to Spain and then end up having to come home because they can't find a job).

In all of the countries mentioned you will need to be fluent to get a job. If you have a head start in French, then this is the obvious one to go for

Then if you decide on e.g. France and have identified a few areas, go there on an extended holiday, and instead of being a tourist, check out the jobs, accomodation etc. Most importantly talk to locals and find out the issues to see if they are liable to be a major hurdle for you.

Also look up expat sites e.g. this is a good one http://www.expatica.com/, or http://www.angloinfo.com/, read about the experiences of others to learn as much as you can e.g. here is a forum section for Irish people in France, so you can read and then join and ask questions in advance first to get a "real" answer from people who have already done what you want to do

Like I said, it's a great experience, but make sure you do your homework.... sometimes the problems travel with you rather than going away!

I enjoyed Italy enough to visit there at least 5 or 6 times. We went to Venice about 4 times, Rome once, Pisa once, and the Vatican City one time. Those were all separate trips, except for the Vatican City and Rome. The Italians were very friendly. The shopping was fun. The food was great. The country was beautiful. we really enjoyed Italy. We had also been to Paris, France. My son visited Spain for a week holiday. We are from America. ( I am of Irish, Scottish, English and German descent)

Are both countries in the E.U.? Are you a citizen of either one? Knowing that would help. But so too would doing your own research online and/or at the embassy of the country you're considering a move to. Language skills help because though english is becoming a de-facto lingua franca among young people from different countries, to know their language (if u don't already) could determine the kind of work you're qualified for, as well as making everyday life more enjoyable.

If you feel that Ireland has nothing to offer you, choose PORTUGAL from your list. The other countries on your list are overused, and have similar opportunities to Ireland. Portugal would offer you beautiful scenery and people, and generally warm & friendly attitude.

Hmm..

I'd Say France.

not only do you already speak french but the country itself

is quite beautiful,

They have great colleges which are free as far as i know..
