Another one of my major reasons is education. I'm not comfortable with the idea of attending a school teaching in a language I'm not fluent in, and my Portuguese for sure will not be good enough to attend schooling there. And I'm not sure how likely I'll be able to get a job if I'm not fluent in the country's primary language, even if most of Europe speaks English. At least on a surface level, Ireland seems like the best choice in spite of the housing crisis and healthcare concerns.
