Re: Addicted to Money - Appalling A lot of people gathered in Knock last week on the expectation that a woman called Mary who died more than 2000 years ago would re-appear in front of their eyes. Amazingly she didn't, but more amazingly, in her absence, many of those gathered reported a...

Re: Addicted to Money - Appalling Is the issue not that a calm opposing voice is just not heard (and certainly not listened to) when the crowd and their chosen prophets are all shouting in the other direction? So, the 'drama' level is upped to get people listening. But then the opposers...

Re: "be Wary Of 100% Capital Guarantee Inducements You can't have it every which way. You mention that you should be 'expecting to get a cash return plus a little bit'. Unfortunately you can't get that without risking something. You either stick your money into a deposit account and be happy...

Are there any brokers in Ireland who will do a 'nil commission' mortgage for a fixed fee? The idea here is that instead of the broker getting the usual 1% of the mortgage, they do it for a fixed fee (presumably lower than the 1%!!) and either give you the 1% or the bank gives you equivalent...

Get onto daft.ie. That's the market. Hard to know for the area as it's 'new' but close to town you would typically be getting €120 to €150 a month. I'm sure you've thought of it already but a large notice in google's offices (or on some website frequented by their staff) wouldn't do your...

You will only be able to offset against rental income, the interest you pay on the original amount of the loan you took out to buy the property (or what's left of it at this stage). You will not be able to offset the interest you pay on any top-up to your mortgage to fund your new purchase. For...

I am presently selling my apartment, and as I have already moved in somewhere else which either has furniture (or I am buying newer furniture), I do not have need for any of the furniture in the apartment being sold. So, my ideal would be to sell the apartment with all furniture included...

Hey Marine 8. Thanks for the great advice. Took it up and rang globuskontiki when I got to Barcelona. They were great - courteous, friendly and gave good advice. They took no deposit, and picked us up from the hotel at the agered 6am. We were driven the 40km to the flight spot. We all got...

Has anyone ever gone hot air ballooning in or near Barcelona? Good fun? Advice/tips welcomed. thank you.

Go onto hotwire.com for the best deals. They don't tell you the name of the hotel, but they do give the area. Got a great deal through it last summer.

Has anyone ever managed to secure a reservation at El Bulli restaurant, north of Barcelona? If so, can you let me know the best way to go about doing that (plus if you thought the meal was a wonderful experience?). I understand the bookings open at some date (in October) but that the year's...
