Ireland is a place of stunning natural beauty and home to a people known for passion, tolerance, humour and imagination.
A place to live, not just to work, Ireland offers an unrivalled quality of life.
Ancient yet modern, steeped in culture and history yet young, vibrant and open, Dublin is a superb location for AMLA to call home.
Open, diverse, multicultural
Ireland is an open, multicultural, multilingual place. We’re committed to diversity and inclusion in society and industry. According to InterNations’ Expat Insider 2021 report, Irish people are extremely friendly towards foreign residents.

Young and dynamic
Ireland can rightly claim to be the most dynamic economy in the EU. We have the youngest population in Europe and one of the most educated and diverse workforces in the world — not to mention the most flexible and adaptable.
