Cost of Living in Ireland

These estimates include rent, electricity, food, books and laundry and medicine as well as travel passes and social expenses, but exclude tuition fees.

Rents and many prices are cheaper for those living outside of Dublin so lower overall costs can be expected. When moving to Ireland for study, you should also budget an additional sum for one-off start-up costs - such as buying kitchen items, bedding, a television, mobile and phone, also for any international travel you plan during the year.
