The car still has tax on it and NCT not due for a few months. Sorry, I don't really use this forum so I don't know how often this has been covered. It seems like a bit of a loophole that the car can be driven even though it is not insured.

Can a person with open insurance drive a car that is uninsured? For example, take a married couple who each have one car and the wife lets her insurance lapse as she uses her husbands car (and is named on insurance). Can the husband (who has open insurance) drive the car that is no longer...

Thanks very much for responses - will possibly say something along the lines of what Rustbucket has suggested as it is true. Think it's such an old fashioned question but apparently it does come up lot in teacher interviews.

I have a teaching interview next week and I'm thinking about how to answer this question. I've heard people say that you should just say that you work too hard or are a perfectionist but that seems so false to me. Any suggestions for ways to answer this question??

We recently paid €300 for a "cake" made from cheese and grapes - it looked amazing and was divine. Worked really well for afters. Venue provided it themselves so no transport costs.

Hi I'm a qualified secondary school teacher (currently not working) and am thinking of doing this course online. Has anyone done it? Or can anyone give me feedback about ChevronTraining or possible alternatives who provide similar training? Thanks

We are thinking of going on a short holiday in early June and are considering hiring a boat in France for a few days. Has anyone done this? And do you have any tips?! Thanks.

Has anyone been to Venice in early June? I've heard it can be a bit smelly in warm weather.

Thanks very much for the responses so far. We're thinking of Venice - neither of us has been there. Or maybe Barcelona.

I'm getting married in June. We have a one year old who we are leaving for a few days so it will be a short break. We're thinking of about three nights. Budget is limited, don't think we could afford more than a thousand. Any ideas?

[CENTER] Giving it up because we can't afford it. Why should it be a "torturous routine"? I shouldn't have to engage in negotiation. Either they cover it or they don't. In this case she said they did not cover it but within less than ten minutes had said that they can cover it. I know...

I recently upgraded my health insurance policy to include my partner who had Garda MedicalAid. At the start of the phone conversation lady in VHI said that he would not be covered for first 26 weeks as this was the lead in time. I argued that MedicalAid was a private insurer and so this...

Hi I have a basic policy with VHI which costs about €52 per month. My partner has Garda Medical aid which is costing him around €36 per month. We recently had a baby and she is covered on my policy but renewal is due shortly. Even though I had insurance I decided to go public for pregnancy and...

Why couldn't the election be held on a Friday? I know a few people who can't vote because they are working away from home. And also, kids could have finished today instead of having a day off and then back in again for one day before the week off.

I did notice that most of the Travellers who were interviewed had strong irish accents.

I've watched some of the coverage on Sky news today and I find this whole saga so annoying. The Travellers have been joined by a large group of activists for "human rights" - a number of these activists have been interviewed and they are saying that the Travellers have "rights" and that they...

Very strange that the parents were not informed. When I did my HDip we had to video a class being taught - for this I had to arrange for a letter to be given to the parent of every student to ensure that no parent had an issue with it. Capturing images of students is taken very seriously...

My sister in law volunteered with SVDP a few years ago at Christmas. She was driving around delivering hampers to families just before Christmas. She said a lot of the houses had much bigger tvs than she did and things like x-boxes,etc. Not so much poor, as poor choices.

Hi I'm looking for a few chests of drawers and shelves. I check donedeal and the pink pages regualarly but haven't found anything suitable yet. I had a look around town but the furniture seemed really expensive. Any suggestions for good places to find nice furniture with a low budget? Thanks

I'm surprised that the gardai were completely cleared of all charges. What do others think?
