How to choose

Three questions settle most searches. Where do the people you need to see sit, clients, investors, a partner firm, a university? Where do the people you need to hire live, and which district do they already commute to? And how much of the monthly budget is the address worth: in most cities the same team pays materially more for the prestige district than for the one next to it. Dublin is no exception, which is why the live listings are sorted by price with the district on every card.
