I need some advice from people living in Ireland. I am a single parent with a small child. We am looking for a place to live. It must be very near to a very good school, hopefully walking distance.
It must be near other families with small children.
But – I want a place green enough that my child can go outside to play without having to deal with cars on busy streets nearby. I hate row houses with a street in front.
I need to travel abroad occasionally so it would be nice to be near a major airport, and since Dublin is crowded and expensive I am looking mostly in the area of Cork, though I would consider anywhere (and cost is not a big problem if all else is right). I would like to rent at first, later buy or build.

Finding a community that is both big enough to have good facilities, and rural enough to have lots of green space has been difficult.
We need a suburban community where people are close, but cars are kept at a distance. Can anyone out there make any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dale
