From looking for jobs recently it seems there are a lot of IT jobs in the UK. It depends exactly what kind of work you want to go into. Desktop/Network Support, Programming, Web work?

What kind of qualifications and experience do you have?

To find out about getting a Visa to work in the UK, probably the best way to find out is to contact the British Embassy in your country, assuming it has one.

Would you say Ireland is the best place for IT work??
