Sorcha, Just be preapred to adapt. The housing and school for children are the two most nerve wrecking items on my list. If you can overcome these two then the rest is a piece of cake.

Finding activities for the Kids is another challenge, There are Horse Riding, swimming clubs, sailing and a few more depends on which part of the town you live in.

There are no real Irish Pubs with the atmosphere that you would expect back home, The so called Pubs here are full of single middle aged men drowning their sorrow after weeks on the rigs. The other type of people who frequent these places are wanna be type look for a cheap thrill with south asian ladies.
