What is it like to retire in Ireland?

"Yes. Yes and Yes. Great attractions and plenty to do. Book clubs, music programs. Irish language classes," remarked one retiree in Galway.

"Ireland is a popular retirement destination for retirees from around the world, due to its low cost of living and accessibility to tax incentives. Retirees in Ireland and its surroundings can enjoy the unique culture and scenery of the country, with many cultural attractions such as the Guinness Storehouse, the National Gallery of Ireland, and the Hill of Tara historic site. Expat retirees can enjoy a vibrant local dining scene, and opportunities to explore the countryside or the coast with nearby recreational activities such as fishing, golfing, and hiking. Additionally, there is a wide variety of nightlife and entertainment to explore, with pubs and traditional music venues to explore. Overall, Ireland can offer retirees a relaxed lifestyle combined with the beauty of the local environment, making it an excellent destination to embrace retirement," said a retiree who moved to Ireland.
