hey there I rent in Cork in a really central spot for less than 500 a month. I work part time at the moment and can totally afford a comfortable life here on about 1500 a month. I don’t drive and use public transport always

I’m applying for a job now in Dublin that would be 3 days in office, 2 at home. the manager thinks I have good chances and have been approved for an interview already. it would be a pay increase and full time hours. it’s near Burlington so close to Ranelagh and Ballsbridge.

I have lots of friends in Cork but I’d definitely welcome a move and change of scenery. I also would want to pursue a specialist training course linked with my degree that’s only available in Dublin at some point in the future anyway so it might be time to just make the plunge.

Would it be better to move to Dublin fully, or find somewhere I can stay two nights a week, going home the third night to work from home the rest of the week.

What do you suggest I do if I get the job? move up fully or stay at a hostel? is it affordable to get digs as an adult on top of rent in cork? or would I just have to get up at 6 am for the Dublin train, and a taxi or something to get there before 9?

any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am not familiar with Dublin! Thank you for reading

Hey does anyone know the best place to get tested for allergies? I have hives all along my arms and they only go away when I take anti histamine from the pharmacy. I did one of those cheap Chinese tests in the Wilton alternative medicine place but it came back that I’m allergic to basically everything

Is it a HSE job, an online thing or a local nutritionist thing? Ideally in the city or somewhere available by bus.

Any advice welcome!

Thanks in advance

Hi there

I am struggling with a moral dilemma. A friend of mine recently told me they were sexually assaulted by someone I know, but they made me promise not to say anything or indicate it. She didn’t know I knew him.

The guards/ police were called though it’s not being pursued in court or anything. They believe it as credible and she could have followed up if she wanted to. He sexually assaulted her and her gay friend; he identifies as straight which partly plays into why she wants to be secretive about this too.

The person I know, I see every so often. Initially I just spoke to him normally until I could reflect. But how do I engage with this?

I don’t want to be friends with someone who would assault a woman like that, especially since he seems so nice that it would be a total surprise to anyone he would do this to. My friendship could be seen by others as a cleansing factor/ endorsement.

I can’t ask him for any explanation (he was drunk) or explain why I don’t want to be friends with him. I also feel like ghosting someone isn’t helpful. He doesn’t even know I know this friend he assaulted.

If someone can help me rationalize the best approach to this I would be grateful.
