    Can I use 1 adult leap card to pay for a number of people( including children) on the bus

    Myself and family members need to take bus journeys in Dublin tomorrow. 3 adults and 4 children. To save messing about with change, can I just purchase 1 adult leap card, load it up and pay for everyone off the one card per journey. Hard to believe I can't just tap my debit card on the bus!

    Thoughts on AnPost Current account

    Recommend a Book

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_(novel) I loved this book and was disappointed when I finished it. Highly recommended if you have an interest is Alaskas history from the first humans to cross over from Asia to modern day. The detail is incredible and his research must have taken years.

    Do the CAT thresholds apply when the giver is alive

    I’d say there are many people who wouldn’t know about that 80% rule. They are the people who wouldn’t be browsing personal finance books, or reading the finance columns in the paper.

    Do the CAT thresholds apply when the giver is alive

    Sorry, one more question. If the full amount is given, e.g 32,500 to a grandchild, does a tax return still need to be done? Geri.
