Asking on behalf of a relative. Has been working full time for 30 years, and was made redundant in November. During that full time employment also did some self employed work. Returned F11 each year for this. On application to DSP for JSB was refused on the basis of self employment. Can...

I hope some kind person may be able to help with this query- I have searched Citizens. Information, the Solas website and Revenue.ie, but I m still lost. My nephew completed his apprenticeship in FAS in 2012. He received an allowance of approx €11,000 for that year. This was not taxed by...

Just a puzzle. My cousin A. married again following the death of his wife. There was one child of the first marriage - B. So his second wife C is the step mother of B. If my cousin A dies before his wife C, will the step child still be a step child of C? The answer could have...

Hi all, Just looking at Mr. Appleby's (ODCE) imminent retirement, which came as a shock to the Government :rolleyes: I heard somewhere on radio earlier today that all applications for this scheme should be in today. Does anyone know where this is stated in Government circulars etc...

Hi everyone. Yeah, it's Sunday night, getting everything ready for tomorrow. Just went to unload the d/w. The door seems to be stuck and I cannot get it open! Ah hell, all the stuff is in there! I think the spring might be gone on the door. Too bloody tired to investigate further, but if I...

My house is in a terrace. Built mid 60s. There is a lane at the back with garage or gate entrance, which is fantastic. Now would you believe after 25 years here, I went out the back gate with my brother in law to load his van with some stuff for the dump. He said to me "your house back wall...

Hi all, Looking for a good outfit that will clear out an overgrown garden, take down unwanted trees and bushes, and generally tidy up. Also need a bit of landscaping, i.e. paving/gravel. Anyone to recommend? I want a legit person, too many flyers coming in the door with just a mobile...

Hi all, Hope you might be able to clarify something for me. I am filing online on ROS for my relative who has rental income, PAYE pensions, Deposit interest, and SW pension. She is a resident of a Nursing Home and claims Health expenses for that. Her net tax liability is nil due to...

Hi, can anyone help? The central heating is on, but the hot water cylinder is cool. No hot water... aaagh!! Anyone know why this has happened? And if you know, can you say what needs to be done to get it sorted out? Thank you.

Ok, I have checked in a bag for the return journey only. Would there be an international security incident if I don't need to put the bag in the hold and use hand luggage only! I'm not concerned about getting any refund, just curious as to the protocol regarding not checking in a bag when it...

Evening all. I have a problem. I got a new bathroom fitted a couple of years ago. Everything grand, pumped shower, etc. The flow from the bathroom sink was never great, but we got by. The plumber said it was because the fittings were "continental" or something. (Villeroy and Bosch on a...

Hi, I have searched the forum a bit, but don't see anything about my make of oven. It is an Ariston single fan oven under the countertop hob. The fan is working, the grill is working but the oven is not heating up at all. I suppose I won't know until a repair person comes out, but is it...

I suppose it will depend on whether the Croker Deal is passed or not. If it is, does anyone think another ISER will be offered? My sister was 49 yrs old at the time of the last offer. She would jump now if a new one was introduced, as she is now a Golden Girl (just turned the big 50!) Any...

I was just sitting here and the thought came into my head.... if I was strapped for cash and the sprogs all gone, could I not make the upstairs into a self contained flat, and make the downstairs a little nest for me and OH. A few bob in our retirement? At that stage the house would be too big...

Hi, I have checked in online for a flight on 17th March. I can't make the journey that day, have made alternative arrangements for another day. I'm not bothered about getting money back or anything, it was a cheapie. Are there any repercussions for not turning up after having checked in...

My mum is disabled and has other problems sadly. She has been in a Nursing Home since 2001. The cost has risen steadily over the years, which is OK as inflation was rising too. In the past week I have had a letter from the NH saying the fee has gone up to €4300 per month from €3740. This is...

The thread title says it all really. I tried to slide the porch door to get out and it is completely stuck and I suspect frozen over somewhere. Temps very low here last night. Is there anything I can do. No amount of pulling and tugging is making any difference. Thanks.

1. Defrost the freezer using a steam cleaner with a nozzle. It is amazing how quickly this works. Have everything ready though, the water comes out really fast! 2. If you want those cut flowers to look great, and not fall over in the vase, criss cross the top of the vase with sellotape (put...

Do I need to get a tag for my hand luggage if travelling with hand luggage only? I have never done this before. I check in online, go straight to security and on to the plane. I was speaking with someone who knows about these things and he said that hand baggage should have a bar coded...
