Cost of Living in Ireland

Ireland can be an expensive place to live so the following may help to reduce your costs of living when here.

  • Student discounts may be available so take your student ID card with you everywhere. Use the Student Leap Card when using public buses, trains, and trams for the lowest fares.
  • Work part-time in compliance with your visa conditions (i.e., no more than 20 hours during term time or 40 hours in approved holiday periods) which can help offset living costs.
  • Live by your own budget by setting aside specific sums for each of the following each week. By spending no more than you have allowed yourself, you will easily manage your money. We suggest something like this to get you started with a weekly budget:
    • Accommodation - €250
    • Food - €80
    • Travel - €50
    • Socialising - €50
    • Other - €50
    • Utilities (for private rented accommodation) – shop around using websites like switcher and bonkers to find the best deals.
