    If the euro goes down because of devaluation will irish deposits in Rabo be devalued?

    This is a confusing thread to me at least. If you have euros held in a non-irish european bank can someone say with any certainty what the possible outcomes are if: 1) Ireland leaves the eurozone and reverts to punts but the bank's host country remains in the euro. 2) The euro ceases and...

    NIB security

    Thanks Dewdrop. In terms of banks, I reckon they are as good as it gets but it's not an accident that gold has gone through the roof. I'm not suggesting your average punter buys gold but, is it possible that perhaps thinking about a well diversified managed fund might be a better option for the...

    Owes €200 to a video rental shop which will be closing down in a couple of months.

    My little brother owes 200euro to a video rental shop which will be closing down in a couple of months. I've told him to settle it with the owners before it folds as the debt may end up in the hands of someone much less pleasant to owe money to. Am I right on this?

    long term interest only mortgages

    Hi there, I hope somebody can help me with this. Is there a long term (10+ year) interest only mortgage available on the Irish market? I am after a product to perform the same function as a reversionary mortgage but without the rip-off terms. I want to assist my parents, in their 60s...

    250K deposit

    Hi, I have 250K which I want to put somewhere 100% guaranteed for 6 months. I don't care if the rates aren't great, just that I can get at it in 6 months and it will be there no matter what short of governments going bankrupt. At the moment it seems the post office is about it. Am I right...

    Taking a futile and feeble stand against Ryanair

    Not sure what this has to do with anything. Nobody claimed to be unaware of the practice, not does it make any difference to whether it is acceptable behaviour. Why would you construct such a well imagined fantasy? Right down to the polite PFO I would get back. (Can you tell me what it will...

    Taking a futile and feeble stand against Ryanair

    Sounds good to me, if I know it cost them more than 30 quid to avoid returning money they were supposed to pass on to the gov and airport, I would be a bit happier. Rather than actually taking them on though, who would one complain to in the hopes that they might actually be told that nobody...

    Taking a futile and feeble stand against Ryanair

    I've have a flight with Ryanair I now won't be using. While I don't really care about the 7.50 fare, it annoys the bejeesus out of me that they have figured out yet another money-making poke in the eye for the customer by charging an 'administrative' fee amazingly close in value to the taxes...

    Ideas for unique break

    Cheers Staples but I had something a bit more adventurous in mind. Looking at a week in the gambia at the mo. Some cracking last minute deals out there if you are happy to walk out your door and go on short notice.

    200k to invest year on year

    Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I know this has come up before, but how on earth do you find a financial advisor you trust? Isn't using some random entry in the yellow pages just as risky as making your own decisions?
