Re: New member considering move to Dublin

Rents have actually come down quite a bit compared with say 3 years ago. And in a lot of cases I would say there is a bit of bargaining room with the quoted monthly rental cost.There is a surplus of...

I always think the irony of life in U.S is that people have these big houses etc, but don't get to spend much time in them as they work long hours.
