    RaboDirect Ireland will be closing in May

    I'm having difficulty finding a bank where I can open an online deposit account. I tried AIB cos I have a credit card with them, but no joy, they wouldn't open a deposit account for me unless I open a current account first. I told them I didn't need a current account, as I already have one...

    Health Insurance Are health insurers obliged to notify you of reductions to the cover provided?

    That's the Important Information box you pasted at the top? Every year I hear the experts on the radio telling us to switch plans & save and every year I contact my insurer to ask what other plans have comparable cover. And every year they tell me that there's no better option than the one...

    Cost of New Kitchen

    6k should be more than enough if you are only changing the doors and worktop. Did the rounds of some kitchen places recently, Ikea were slightly cheaper but their fitting charges are so high that you don't necessarily save anything. Can't remember 100% but I think their cabinets are slightly...
