    Dirt to 41% + 4% PRSI = 45%; no USC

    I notice there is nobody talking about state savings ten year solidarity bonds now despite the fact they are the best savings product at the moment. True, ten years is a long time and early withdrawals bite severely into the interest (plus PRSI), still, if left for the full term, equates to over...

    Tralee Hotel

    Yes, you are correct, but just took the opportunity to promote my own area, Tipperary. Its alway Kerry, isn't it, and no contest for us in Tipperary. Still, I think a midweek break here in a 4* hotel for around €250 for a family isn't bad. Just bear us in mind if looking for somewhere different.

    How to go to Marrakesh from Agadir

    We did the tourist bus day trip several years ago, began around 5am, were back around midnight. Hell of a long journey through all kinds of terrain and the bus wasn't the most modern.

Many things to do for adults and kids. Accommodation very reasonable but would want to hurry. PM me if interested. Would love to...

    what amount are you talking about Postal money orders are usually for small to medium amounts and as far as I know there is a limit on the amount one can purchase a postal money order. Cannot understand why one is used for this purpose. A bank draft or credit union draft is much cheaper to...
