It’s a known fact that a lot of foreigners in Ireland are well educated, some with degrees and diplomas.  But this poses a small problem if you reside and live in Ireland because you cannot get a well-paid job even with your degrees.
Why?
Sometimes when a doctor from an Eastern European country moves to Ireland with the hope of practising he is very taken aback when he is told he is not well qualified!
 
This is a big issue but then don’t just sit back and take the first construction job! Get in the system if you really want to make something of your life.  No one is ever too old to go to college.
Education is Ireland is open to anyone who wishes to pursue it.
Let’s talk about cost!
The cost of living in a foreign country is expensive and education is even more expensive.  But the best thing about working and living in Ireland is the education.
The Irish government provides for the future leaders {its youth} by providing them cheap and affordable education, along with maintenance grants.
Age?
You are never too old to go back to college or study to get your life on the right tracks!
Some colleges and universities in Cork City accommodate adults wishing to pursue an education.  The Irish Government also provides help in the form of grants and back-to-education assistant loans and aids.
How to apply?
Good question because this is the next step. 
There are a lot of colleges and the university in Cork that provide courses to suit various needs.
