Properties in Ireland are getting cheaper and cheaper…

How easy is it to become a citizen of Ireland?

It depends on a lot of things. We have what is called "stamps" for different emigration and residence statuses. For example I'm here on a stamp 4 (married to a EU citizen). I stay for 5 years and then apply for citizenship. Another way to stay is by means (enough money to support yourself), but a lady that does that told me 3 years ago they changed it, so she can't ever get citizenship that way, she needs to keep renewing her permission to remain every year. Skilled workers is a good way to get in. If you have sought after skills and the list is a mile long. You can get a work visa on that... A lot of people are coming in as refugees now as well and good grief, they let everything in! (Crime rates went up as a result )

WOW - that's crazy! Crazy good for whoever wins the bid too (if it stays reasonable)!

I think it will stay reasonable. There are loads of houses for sale and the ones that need work lose to the ready-to-move-into ones, which are also very affordable.

This is even crazier. This house (houses) is as neat as a pin and in a rather expensive part of the country.

Well I could be happy with the one you guys are talking about the floors! Only noticed ONE bathroom mentioned...??? With all those bedrooms?

FEM -- you and I need more than 4 acres for all the goats!

But I could be very happy there.

Hm the link doesn't work for me. But that's amazing, though I wouldn't want to live on that island!

They seem to have taken it down or something. It's just some info about the island, the castle, etc. Here's a drone view:
