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.

 

Crosscare Migrant Project's message to you is that it is important you make an informed decision based on fact, not on your memories of how things used to be. This publication is designed to help you do this.

 

To everyone using this guide, we wish you luck in whatever decision you make.

Our e-bulletin updates on Returning to Ireland are also available to read and download by clicking here.
