Default Cork, Galway or Waterford?

I'm living in Dublin working a contract job that will end in December. I want to move from Dublin after the contract is done. It's too expensive living here. What are the job prospects like in Cork, Galway and Waterford? Most of my job experience is in Insurance doing office support and back office work.

Cork nice city and you can live in West Cork and commute. Abtram (Sky) have offices in Bishoptown and are recruiting. Rent 4 bedroom about 750 a month, but you will have to commute about an hour.

I am biased cos I live in Bantry. It is a beautiful area.

All over I am afraid. But we will all come out the other end in one piece hopefully!

You can't eat scenery, (the phrase goes) but poverty in a good area is so much prettier!!
