Have a look at the best buys posts. The Anglo-Irish regular saver is 5.5%. Within AIB the seven day notice on-line account might be an option. The whole thing could be set-up on-line if they've already got the AML docs for you.

Re: Confused about Pension contributions Your take home pay figure looks about right. Here's the result of putting your annual gross less 15% (€37,400) into Karl Grabe's Tax calculator. Monthly take home pay. (Married) Selected Tax year is 2009 #2: 'Emergency' Apr-09 Gross Take Home Pay...

Exactly what will happen probably depends on who the lender is. I'd ask them when they plan on drawing the first repayment. I'd guess it will be June 21st.

I'd be hopeful they'll keep them up. The DIRT exemption also gives them a significant boost adding to their attractiveness. I can't help imaging lots of people that haven't darkened the door of the post office in years paying it a visit.

An Post are a rock of stability and the market moves around them :D

Certainly not Anglo. They only offer 2% for 12 months. If you want a branch you can walk into Irish Nationwide currently offer 4.38% AER over 15 months. There's a report here that that rate is going to be ended effectively on Friday. I'd follow fungus's advice and take the bet that 12...

Bertie will deserve his fair share of credit for helping achieve relative peace in Northern Ireland. I can't see history being as kind to him on the economy.

The ferry to Sausalito gives a good view of Angel Island and Alcatraz. The Bay Area Model in Sausalito is fascinating. In San Fran the Coit Tower is worth going up for the view. If you take the night tour to Alcatraz dress warmly as it can be really cold if it's foggy.

Anglo-Irish have cut back their 2 & 3 year rates a lot. They've re-introduced a 1 year rate at a derisory 1.6%. Irish Nationwide now have the best 2 year rate at 3.32%. Rabo's rates are starting to look less bad relative to the competition.

As usual they don't have a version of it for Mac.

Re: So, what's the problem with the IMF? Here's a map of IMF member countries . North Korea & Cuba are missing. There must be something worthwhile about the organisation that makes the rest of them want to join.

Investec's 1 year fixed rate of 4.5% is now the best on the market as Irish Nationwide have cut there's to 4.25%.

You could instead of paying the interest to the bank pay it to yourself by repaying your savings account by the same amount each month that you'd be giving the bank. It only really makes sense to borrow it if you think you'll need the savings for an emergency when you don't have the option to...

OP updated. NIB seem to be the only ones that haven't cut their rates since the last update.

Anglo seem to have just cut their 1 year rate to 4.4%. Irish Nationwide now have the best 1 year rate at 4.65%.

If you go for a revised fixed term to have it paid off in then your repayments will fluctuate up and down with interest rate changes to keep it on course for repayment by the end of the term. If you fix the repayment amount the term will fluctuate shorter or longer as interest rates fluctuate...

To complete the calculation we need to know the break out rate, but for example assume it is 3.5% Number of days 1156 = 274 + 365 + 365 + 152 Penalty = |[€271,000 * (5.190 - 3.5) * 1156 ]/36500| = €14,505
