I think that Ireland is a good place to study abroad. This is because every English teacher speaks RP, very nice British English, and many of them are also good at teaching. Moreover, diligence and having a fervor for education are part of the national character of Ireland. I have often heard that Europeans strongly recommend Ireland rather than the UK as a great place to study abroad. They said that although the UK is a good place for a vacation, Ireland is the best place to study. However, it is true that ordinary Irish people speak heavily-accented English. You should consider whether it is acceptable or not.
