Advice on moving to Dublin from Bangalore with family?

Hello Friends, Its great that I found this forum where i can get help make decision to move to Dublin with family. I am based in BANGALORE (INDIA) and work in an software MNC. I have a 7yr old daughter. The purpose of this discussion thread is to help me understand better the expenses and my options. I have been offered a package of 60,000 Euros which includes 20%bonus which is paid year end. That is 48000 per annum. 1. Would my take home be around 2800?? I did put number 4800 in caluclator below..Are there any other cuts in your take home after this?? Where do most of Indian community stay ? My office is in Dublin 24, which are good options to stay. do you get apartments or houses furnished? I suppose the rents are around 1000 euro? how much extra for internet/electricity etc? 3. for my Daugther's school; I suppose the education is free. What is the session time? she would be joining class 2. anyting I need to particularly know ; hidden costs, do's and don't etc? 4. I may not buy a car immediately so would be dependent on Metro (DART) . Will that suffice if we have to roam around in town to look for apartments etc? 5. basically need help in dos and don't for first 1-2 months before I settle down . 6. My monthly expenses assumptions are Rent -> 1000 , other bills -> 200 , groceries -> 500 ? 7. My wife will be on a dependent VISA; can I apply for a work visa for her from India itself, she may choose to work or not in Dublin...is that possible or you need an employer as must..
