I think some cheap B&B near the training centre would be great. I'd like to go either by foot or by bus I found Shannon Lodge B&B but was unable to book it

try this link for a start.
????????????????
The training centre is in Ballycasey, next to Shannon town.
The b and b's listed as being in ballycasey are less than 5 mins walk from training centre, some are across the road from it.
Shannon town centre is 15 mins walk.
The airport is 5km away from Shannon town.

With the price of oil, it wont be long before we're burning the donkey!

i guess its a long way from the sun,sand,more sand,more sand and oil that you've become used to,buddy.

I'd encourage you to come, but we couldn't afford to pay you enough to continue with the lifestyle that you have acquired!!!!

dont forget the factor 50, wee man

Regards
BW

what it costs to live in ireland

you might find everything you need to know on the internet. If you are prepared to make a move like this then put in the spade work.

here's a good starting point:
It's your money

Website run by irish financial regulator.
make sure to check out the life events section and the cost compare section.

Good luck with all the application business.

B+Bs

expATCO Should be a lot of B+B rooms available in an area called Bunratty. It's a tourist area about 5 or so kms from the ACC. Tourism is down this year so room availability is higher than norm. Bunratty Arms is the only name I can recall at the moment. You'll need to hire a rental car.

HI Guys,

Have any of you that have accepted positions in Shannon/Dublin been given any indication as to when you are likely to start training etc.

No firm numbers have been given to us yet, but i think a class of 6 starting in shannon in October

Cheers!!!

thelowestlevel

They require to arrive on 28th October at Shannon, but as I understood starting date of employment is on 20th October. Yes there will be 6 of us there.

Do everybody need a green card to sign a contract there? When are you guys who received letter of appointment going to arrive to Shannon/Dublin?

expATCO,

it probably depends on where you are from, inside the EU, probably not, outside, i would think that some sort of work permit would be required, i doubt that it is that difficult to obtain, although knowing irish red tape, it could take a bit of time

Your best bet would be to enquire from those already here, shannon has 2 canadians, 2 aussies, and 1 kiwi

not sure about Dublin.

ExpATCO,
By law you can't be issued a formal contract until you have a work permit. You may get a draft copy in an email but that will be all. If you have filled out your application for the work permit it will take about four weeks to process once it arrives back in Ireland. The IAA will then send you your work permit together with your contract and letters to obtain bank accounts etc.

In terms of staff who are already here, the people thelowestlevel mentioned started from other courses. The people on your course will start at the same as you and the ones I am aware of wont arrive until early - mid October.

Does anyone know if the people selected for Dublin will be doing all their training in Dublin or will it be at the college in Shannon.

Cheers
