Many thanks for your reply. 1990's it should be!;) Your reply reminded me that there was an arrangement that if we held the shares for 5 years they were free of tax. However, I don't have paperwork from the time and the company is no longer based in Ireland. The administration of the scheme...

Shares were issued to me under an employee share option scheme in the early 1900's. I didn't pay anything for them. Idid nothing withthem over the years. In November 2018 I was contacted and requested to increase my shareholding up to a minimum 100 shares or, alternatively sell my shareholding...

Thank you for your response. The tree belongs to our neighbour. Now that it is damaged it is leaning out over a narrow road which allows us access to our house. This road was originally a public road but due to layout changes made by the Council it is no longer in public use. The tree does not...

As a result of recent storm a tree belonging to our neighbour has broken and is leaning over against a tree to one side of it. A branch of this tree is holding up the fallen tree and preventing it from falling onto a narrow road which allows access to our home. Our house is the only one...

We need to have some Cypress trees cut down. They are very tall and I am very concerned about them. Can anybody recommend tree fellers who could do this job. We live North Dublin/South Meath area. Many thanks Olddoll

I believe you are only paid for the flights you actually work. you are not paid for sitting by the phone waiting on that call to report for duty, which can make balancing the budget quite a struggle, not to mind paying back the training costs.

Irish Water say they require the PPS number to determine the free water allowance for each household. Can they decide at a future date to reduce the water allowance and/or eliminate it? What would prevent them from doing this?

+ 1. Well put PMU. The majority of retirees have put 50 + years into the economy. The reason so many of us feel we have never had it so good currently is because in the 1970s and 1980s it was so tough. we are so used to making the pennies count that having a little more in the purse is so...

The Children's allowance in the 1970's / 80's was very low. Much more generous now even with the three reductions. Were the reductions intended to act as a disincentive to having large families. In 1977 the number of births was in the region of 64000 now they are about 74000.

WOW. Thank you Hippy1975 and Browtal for your replies which were so comprehensive. A visit to South Africa is something I have wanted to do for a number of years and your replies have been so enthusiastic and informative about the country that I think I have no choice but to go ahead and do...
