We're from the south of Ireland and are Church of Ireland (which is about the same as Church of England I think). A move to Belfast could be considered, for various financial reasons. House prices, NHS, longer school day, tax credits, more job opportunities. Something has to change. Dublin is tough at the moment. Where does an Irish church of Ireland family send their children in Northern Ireland? I would have thought that in Northern Ireland of all places, there would be Educate Together type schools, but I can't find any info online about Educate Together in NI. I've no strong views about who NI belongs to, but I feel 100% Irish. However, not being Catholic, I'm a little bit scared of sending children to a Catholic school in the North although I wouldn't fear doing that here, and I have my children's names down for Catholic secondaries.
Am I overthinking things? What's good about living in NI? What's bad about living in NI?
