You made it. The flights are behind you, the boxes are (probably) still everywhere, and Ireland is suddenly home. Take a breath, then take another one. The hard part is done.

What comes next is the settling-in stretch: PPS numbers, bank accounts, schools, GPs, a roof that feels like yours. None of it is dramatic, but there’s a lot of it, and most of it has to happen in a particular order.

This checklist isn’t arranged in strict order of importance. Think of it as a practical companion to help you tick things off as you find your feet, in a format you can work through at your own pace.
