Expect monthly living costs in Ireland to range from €1,400 - €2,500 in Dublin and €1,000 - €1,800 in other cities. Dublin is significantly more expensive than other locations.

Typical monthly expenses:
- Accommodation: €600 - €1,200 (Dublin), €400 - €800 (other cities)
- Utilities & Internet: €130 - €210
- Groceries & Food: €200 - €350, plus €80 - €200 for dining out
- Transport: €50 - €120 (with Student Leap Card)
- Personal & Social: €100 - €200

Health insurance is mandatory and typically costs €150 - €250 per year.
