It was a very tough decision but in the end we decided to go fo Te Awamutu. Financially it will be easier for the first few years until I start earning more and it will also be easier to get the kids sorted for school before we leave Ireland which would not have been possible in Christchurch. It should also be easier to find accommodation in TA and we just liked the sound of a nice quiet town and the life it could offer. Christchurch also had a lot to offer but for us at this time just not as much as TA.
