Dear All:
In the future I might have the possibility to work in Ireland (Republic). But for better evaluate any potential offer, I would like to know a little bit more about cost of living, taxes, if fringe benefits pay taxes, Social Security, labour law, etc. Furthermore, is there anything in particular that I should be aware when I negotiate my employment terms (holidays, health, bonus, etc.)?
By law how many months has the employer to pay? I say this as in my homecountry, by law, we receive 14 months (12+1holidays+1Christmas). Then, now I am working in a country where I receive 13, but this double pay is not mandatory.
Can anyone direct me to a good site where I can see this?
For instance a salary of 50000Euros/year is considered high or low?
Thanks for your help.

Makes no difference to me where you are from... Just enjoy Ireland when you get there
