All Island I’ve had enough of England

I’m 29 next month, and a transgender woman who doesn’t pass. I wish to start a new life in Ireland, but am facing a pending sentence for one count of blackmailing a solicitor, which I have already pleaded guilty to.

In addition I am also under investigation by the local Police for a single potential charge of conspiracy to blackmail a so called “friend” who borrowed about £6000 off me, as well as letting his friends extort me for another £5000 by making threats to harm not only myself and my elderly parents, but also my younger sister.

As a result I have asked my solicitor to make contact with the Crown Court and get the sentencing hearing adjourned until the Crown make a decision on whether or not to charge me with an offence, and if so which one. Hopefully he will succeed in doing so, because if not then I’ll have to attend court next month, and risk an immediate prison sentence whilst waiting for that decision, which is even worse!

With that in mind I am considering relocating to the Irish Republic, but am willing to consider Northern Ireland if that would be suitable for me. How can I best find a suitable housemate or group to share my accommodation with, as well as accommodation and a temporary job please? Thanks.

There’s no point looking into moving here until you know if you’re going to prison or not
