Hi Irene, Like so many of the South Africans above, we are in the same situasion. Wanting to make the move to Ireland, but not sure where to start, and in this economic climate if its still the best way to go. We have a new baby on the way, due 8th of August, and fear for our child's, not only safety, but also his future. My husband is in I.T ( Linux System's Engineer). Can you please help...by Esmaree in: South Africa Travel Forum
