The last census recorded around 22,000 Spanish people living in London – around 40% of the entire Spanish population of the UK.

Again we see the problem in spain .... and Its jobs across EU ......  but love this Quote ..-When did you come up with the idea of living in Ireland?

During 2005, we were very upset with the job situation in Spain (too many working hours, low salaries, poor benefits…) and

“when we tried to start our company, it was a disaster (huge taxes, lots of bureaucracy…) so when my boyfriend got a good job in Dublin, we made up our minds, closed our own company and moved to Ireland.  ”

in Ireland 300 euros will get you a company anme in companys office ....

I don’t know Spanish languages.

It’s the same situation with a lot of European countries now with the many working hours and low salaries, of course another great thing in the uk is the benefits but unfortunately the tax is also high. I wonder how native Spanish people understand the Irish accents, I struggle a lot myself. The are hard working people who clearly dont live off benefits so good for them!
