    No Statutory Declaration on Notice to Quit.

    And being able to show they exited the last tenancy on good terms will be a necessity in seeking next tenancy. Difficult to overstate the importance of this and the lack of foresight in risking it by going through a technical appeal process that would only delay the inevitable.

    Ireland is full.

    Loads of countries have different laws, we had same law here until 30 years ago. They need to organise and lobby within their own country for a change as people did here. If the proposed Euthanasia legislation comes in will that be a valid cause for an applicant as a human right they are denied...

    Ireland is full.

    A recent radio report interviewed a Moroccan international protection applicant sleeping in a tent. Thousands of Irish people go on holiday to Morocco every year. Dept of Foreign Affairs do advise caution but it doesn't add up if they are succeed in the application. It's a Muslim country with...

    Incorrect BER, what can I do?

    If you are buying a house and you think the BER is really critical you should get your own done and not rely on the vendor's. Just like you get your solicitor to verify the boundaries/legal title and other things.

    Re-Turn Plastic Bottles

    You have already said that the 28% is for all plastic, not plastic bottles. You don't know that rate for plastic bottles. if everyone goes to the bother of putting out a green bin, they are surely putting something into it. As I said earlier, everyone knows for sure that plastic bottles and...

    Re-Turn Plastic Bottles

    Last month every one in my village put their bottles/cans in the green bin and they were all collected as usual. Next month the same collection of green bins (minus the bottles) will take place but another lorry will also be put on the road to collect the bottles from the shop for this scheme...

    Re-Turn Plastic Bottles

    That doesn't contradict my statement that plastic bottles/cans are likely the items with the highest rate of recycling. We all know they go in a green bin. Not sure about the pizza box or wet coffee cup - is it really cardboard or a mix of plastic/cardboard ? i don't really know I'll repeat...

    Is my redundancy calculation correct?

    You also have the increased exemption of another 10k unless you had a termination payment just before you started 10 yrs ago? Have you checked scsb doesn't give a higher tax free. Your max statutory with 10 yrs would be 12.6k, not 15k From above you also need to deduct the present value of the...

    NCT Suspension imbalance

    Thanks all, This is the suspension test, brake imbalance test is fine. Bouncing the car it seems fine, as I understand it from the nct manual the weight of the car is arrived at by weighing the wheel weights on the plates during the suspension test, hence my idea that there is an error. Going...

    NCT Suspension imbalance

    Failed with 69% imbalance on front axles. Understand that but the numbers on each side are 394Mm and 1264Mn. Back is 32/28. Have googled a few failures but no-one seems to have any numbers greater than 70 ish. Is 394/1264 even possible ? Or is it a unit of measure error ? The weight of the car...

    What next for Ryan Tubridy?

    Although he was on nice money I doubt he has made enough to see him out without another job. The big problem for him was that I think the general public thought he was above that shenanigans, they have been deceived. Because of that he won't ever get an audience again. He could maybe become a...

    Pensionable salary

    in fairness I don't think its a cost issue. Employers who have both a DB scheme closed to new entrants and a DC for newer employees often keep the contribution rule the same so that the employee contribution is the same regardless of what scheme you are in. Otherwise DC employees may complain...

    Pension Provider - very difficult to contact - stressful

    You retired around 23rd March. Communication has maybe not been what you expected but in reality they could not deal properly with any of your queries until you had retired and the final contributions were received. The contributions for March do not have to be submitted until around 20th April...

    DB Pension query

    You are confusing Revenue rules and scheme rules. The OP is asking where the lump will come from. The max that can come from the DB scheme will be based on 9 years . The scheme rules ( unless they are very unusual) will not allow for service post closure in the lump sum calculation. Then he has...

    DB Pension query

    The tax free from the DB scheme will be based on the years of service rule: with 9 years service you will get 3/80 x 9 x final salary when you exited the scheme. Your annuity will then be reduced to reflect this. There is no 25% pot for the DB, unless you are able to retire it and get a transfer...
