<p>D wants to spend a semester in Ireland to explore her/our Irish heritage. Are you familiar with University College Dublin and/or Cork, and if so, any insights or advice?</p>
<p>I’m sure it would be an awesome experience but beware of the cost of living in Ireland right now. Find out the particulars of room and board before you go any further in the process. The Irish economy is a shambles; the prices of food and fuel are preposterous. Good luck.</p>
