10 Best Places to Retire in Ireland

6. County Laois

County Laois (pronounced leash) borders Offaly in Ireland’s central point. This is why differences between the counties are largely insignificant. Laois ranks sixth on our list of 10 best places to retire in Ireland thanks to median housing price of €140,888 ($159,387). Weather is largely the same as well with temperatures coming to 9.5 °C (49.1 °F), and precipitation being slightly higher at 806 mm (31.7 in). Some 20,000 inhabitants of Port Laoise should warmly welcome foreign retirees, but there are many smaller communities as well. As it usually goes with smaller towns and villages, you’ll likely have to wait a little bit more before being accepted in the community.
