I have no idea what an HND in business management is, but Dublin is the business centre of the country with financial clout even greater than its population. Since the greater Dublin area now comprised about 40pc of the country's populace, you can see that we're talking about the place with all the financial muscle that is left here.
Other major cities in order: Cork, Galway, Limerick (just hit by major layoffs at Dell) and Waterford.
My own view is that Galway is the nicest of the Irish cities, Cork second, Dublin is exciting to visit and though they're lovely to walk around and enjoy for weekend, Limerick and Waterford don't really appeal to me. On the other hand, both are small enough that living in the countryside yet still able to get into town on a reasonable commute makes them attractive.
Dublin commuting is notorious - typical abandonment of any planning by this government while populations were shooting up - but if you're on the LUAS tram line, DART train lines, or taking a straight-in shot on one of the bus lines from not too, too far out then public transport is available.

: An Bord Altranais is the nursing board where
: you'll find all info including job info.
: http://www.nursingboard.ie/ At least

:
: There are nursing jobs available, but like

:
: Use this free site - major update coming in
: a couple of weeks - and the full site at

:
: Best of all, come over on your own or with
: the kids and partner for a vacation. See
: what you think, talk to people, don't buy a
: home because they're going lower no matter
: what the agents tell you, but look at a
: rental or two and get a feel for the place.
:
: The good thing about nursing is that you can
: live anywhere - country, city, town - and
: find work within easy commuting distance.
: It's your partner's work that might prove
: the problem.
