“I was attracted to Ireland because of their salary. The remuneration here is quite good since they don’t have a fixed salary. You are paid based on your experience. For me, it was better than choosing a country where I’d be paid the basic salary.”

Abena added that she considered her family, too, since she is a wife and a mother. She realised that Ireland was the best place for her family as well.
