How Ireland works as a nomad base

The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Ireland, Dundalk leads at 71/100 — cost 52, climate 97, safety 73; warmest-month highs around 15.5°C and coldest-month lows near 4.5°C give you a feel for the seasons. Dundalk is the pure-budget play at cost 52/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Ireland before booking anything long-term.
