I tend to agree with the posters who are confused about what to do. Yes, the Irish banks are totally bust, and so it cannot be a bad idea to get money out of them. On the other hand, the paranoid fixation of the ECB, around the issue of burning bondholders or indeed any form of burden sharing of...

Michael Noonan, TD, patriot, and minister for finance of this country, apparently does not share your confidence in the Irish banks. He kees his money elsewhere [broken link removed] What does that say, about our banks and our political masters?

Anybody think investing in a cash fund with the likes of Canada Life, is a simpler way of putting cash in a relatively safe place. Ok, interest will be low, but getting cash in and out of the fund is a simple enough matter, and I guess the fund will be invested in a basket of currencies...

I'm in the same boat, but I have gone from nervous about keeping too much of my savings in any Irish institution (including government bonds) to being nervous about having too much in any Euro denominated account in any Euro country. I would really like to hear from anybody who has gone about...

I use skype on my PC. No problems. If I wanted skype on a phone such as an iPhone, could I set up the same account as I have on my PC on the phone? Or would I have to set up a seperate account with a different user name? R

Spoke with brother in law over the week end. He is selfemployed and been a Nokia man since Digicell went on the air. At the time he was an employee of Digicell. Anyway, after that many years in Nokialand, he somewhat nervously changed to the iPhone in March 2009. 9 months on, he just wonders...

As far as i can see, there are plent of people claiming jobseekers allowance or jobseekers benefit and working full time in the black economy. In fact the black economy is growing rapidly IMO! Back to the eighties we go. High taxes = Black economy on a roll. R

Well, that is what I am going to do, but just the same it irks me somewhat. R

Yes! I still do not fully understand the requirement for me to submit full 3 years accounts as it is not my company. My relationship with my employer is as a PAYE employee!! T

Hi, I have applied for a mortgage to a well known Irish bank. I happen to be listed as a director of my employers company. I do not have any shareholding whatsoever, I am just a named director, so I can handle certain legal transactions on behalf of the company, as all other directors reside...
