Returning Home?

We realise that making a decision to return home to Ireland involves much planning, organisation and anxiety. You may sometimes feel overwhelmed with the amount of information available and the amount of issues you will have to consider before returning home.

  • Our 'Returning to Ireland' factsheet series (below) aims to reduce your feelings of "information overload" by providing comprehensive information in a manner and style that is easily understood and which allows you to gradually deal with the practicalities of moving home.
  • You will also find information on this page on the Habitual Residence Condition and the work Crosscare Migrant Project has done on this in relation to returning Irish emigrants.


If you are thinking about returning home and wish to speak to someone in
