    Child assessment. The institute of Education

    Homecoming. The institute only provides full time schooling for 4th, 5th and 6th year students so you wouldnt be able to send a 14 year old there. They also provide shorter revision courses for younger students who attend in addition to their normal secondary school. I suggest that you check...

    NorthWood Santry

    Overall it's a very attractive looking development though the quality of the apartments vary. A large proportion of them are rental properties ( both private & rent allowance). I'm not sure which schemes are affected by pyrite.

    Was I ripped off by the guy on the digger?

    I think that the cost was reasonable. We had something similar done for €3000 including VAT. We received a printed invoice & receipt. Other quotes received were way in excess. I tend to avoid discussing costs of building work or cars with family and friends as one or two of them will always...

    Husband's cappuccino habit costing €40/month, thinking of buying a cappuccino machine

    I've owned several cappuccino makers over the years. You really need one with about 15 bar pressure to make a decent espresso for the cappucino. I would recommend using one with an automatic milk frother. I think that the Nespresso machines are the best and make the best tasting coffee. I...

    Ashbourne, Co Meath, Archerstown Woods

    We're currently renting a 5 bed here whilst self building our new house. To be honest I definitely wouldn't buy a house here. Most of the larger houses have north facing gardens. The back garden is completely waterlogged from getting so little sun. The kitchen is pitch dark even in the morning...

    Can anyne explain VHI, lose 47,000 pump up prices??

    That sounds strange alright as an echocardiogram is usually just carried out on the same basis as walking in and getting an x ray done. It sounds like you were billed as a day case procedure. Not sure we should even be discussing this as it's against the rules!
