How do I meet people in Ireland?
When we asked people living in Ireland about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Expats in Ireland can join clubs or take part in activities that are tailored to their interests. These might include hiking clubs, photography clubs, book clubs, and music clubs. Additionally, the Irish can easily attend multicultural events and get-togethers throughout the country. These events offer a great opportunity to meet people and learn more about different cultures. Expats can also reach out to their local community by joining neighbourhood organisations and committees. This could bring them in contact with Irish people, other expats, and can offer plenty of opportunities to socialise. Another way for expats to meet people is through work or school. Whether they're teaching, volunteering, or simply attending a course, this makes for a great point of connection with the locals," explained one expat living in Ireland.

"Sports clubs are alwys good - it's a sports-mad city, following soccer and rugby as well as traditional Gaelic games. There's a good range of night classes, and many people use these as a social outlet and way to meet new people. Cultural life centres on the university and the Beltable theatre. Main social life revolves around the pub, but you may make your friends in other fora, then proceed to socialise with them there," said another expat in Limerick, Ireland.
