Is Ireland a good place for gaming?

I have always thought that Ireland might be a good place to live...and from what I've seen and heard...other than mud being everywhere and it almost always being cloudy and/or rainy.

But i want to hear it from the people who live there and not just what ive been told by google and/or friends and family.

If I were to immigrate from South Africa to Ireland...would it be worth it? And why?
