I would second what mathepac stated above, in years of dealing with support for any type of support, Eir were clearly the worst experience I had. If they offered me free broadband and mobile phone for life, I would not take them up on it. About 18 months ago I bought a mobile in an eir shop and...

Obviously it is not that simplistic but based on a read of https://www.pensionscouncil.ie/en/Council-Opinions/Report-on-BOB-Charges-.pdf there are a variety of charges and this changes from year to year. It is well worth a read. For me it is more important to identify your risk level for the...

Thanks for the replies, I have a meeting with a broker in the coming week so I will try to get a breakdown of the charges involved as all I need is the DC pension to be moved into a buyout bond. I can choose the relevant fund to invest in based on the life assurance company that provides the...

I read https://www.pensionscouncil.ie/en/Council-Opinions/Report-on-BOB-Charges-.pdf and it was very helpful to see the differences in charges and how they are applied from different life assurance companies. It does not go into the additional charges if you use an intermediary, i.e. a pension...

Thanks @dub_nerd for the response and the link. I replied twice to the person claiming that they were booking our house for those dates to say we have not received the draft a few weeks ago. I have not received any response. Should they reply then I will not be replying. I will contact the...

Only wondering if anyone has seen any scams in relation to bank drafts. I cannot work out what the person who might be responsible for this scam would gain, details are below: Today I received a letter which was posted from Germany, it was addressed to me & contained a bank draft for €3,000...

Not sure which option Marc is referring to re cost of tax compliance. For item 3 in the original post there is little compliance work to complete assuming you are not buying/selling the shares on a regular basis. I would have assumed the only compliance work is the dividends received that need...

Thanks Ravima, it is a Gasokol flat plate solar system and it was installed 6 years ago. We have never had any issues & it is working fine but probably due a service.

Would anyone have a recommendation for servicing solar panels in Cork please.

I appreciate the replies and for breaking it down for me. I will look up pension brokers in the Cork region as that is where I am based unless it is possible to complete this advice over a call then I would prefer to contact one of ye as both of you consistent give very good advice. If that is...

I don't completely understand the process so apologies if these are stupid questions. As an example, I have 100K in an existing pension though I no longer work with the company so I cannot contribute to it going forward. I am 40 years old and do not plan to need access to these funds early at...

Thanks for the reply Steven. I am planning on completing this myself so was just doing some research into what is involved. I will touch base with one of the providers for buy out bonds once I confirm that the charges are fairly consistent across the life companies for similar type investment...

My OH has a pension circa 100K with a previous employer and recently received a Statement of Options. In her next job there is no pension set up as it is a small operation so transferring it to a current pension is not an option. Options seem to be leave it in current setup or move it to a...

Passport Express only means An Post guarantees the application will arrive the following date, likewise when issued that you receive them the next day. It has no bearing on how fast the passport application is processed. I would contact them and ask if a note can be added that your travel date...

Mine was for our 3 kids but for one of them it was a first time passport which I believe takes longer so that might be the difference, purely a guess though. Also our estimated date was April 30th initially and we received them on May 16th, the estimated date moved as time moved:)

I had a similar experience very recently, I applied on March 26th and estimated date was April 30th. After that date it started to move and once it went to May 9th as the estimated date then I tried to contact them as our travel date was May 30th. Contacting them was difficult; for about 5-7...

The revenue outlines what can be deducted below, another item is insurance. As a recent purchaser of a holiday home which we let out when we are not there, putting a % away for tax from each booking though hard is a necessity for us...

thanks for the reply shweeney. No, we are not planning on living there full time. If we purchased one of the properties, then we would be looking at spending 2-3 weeks in the summer there and a couple of long weekends, the rest of the time we would be trying to rent the house if possible...

There are a few houses for sale in Hookless village at the moment & seems there have been improvements based on a thread in another forum;) Wondering if anyone on the forum lives or takes holidays in the area who could give some information on if it is a good place for young kids, etc.

My OH had a pension with her previous employer where she finished work about 2 years ago. There have been no contributions since she left so I was wondering what options she has in terms of Buy out bonds. If I search for this I can see lots of options for different firms offering BOB but it is...
