Hi all, currently bidding on a house that was on for €550000 but bidding has gone to €620000. Could possibly go to €630000. Myself and my partner have just turned 50 and will require €350k mortgage to fund this. We have been approved up to €430k. We are also in the fortunate position that I will...
Hi all, mu husband recently changed jobs, he moved from a job he was 17 years in to another in the same kind of sector. His new boss is extremely difficult to work with and he has found out that several people before him have walked or have been pushed. He is at the stage now himself that he...
Hi all,
We are hoping to move house in the next year or 2, mortgage currently 185,000 and current house value 360,000. We have just sold some share options and will be coming into approx. 50K that we will have to use as a deposit against a new house ( probably around the 500-520K value). I was...
I used them about 6yrs ago and found them very good, quality of kitchen is very good too. I had a problem with one of the drawers about a year after installing and they sent someone out to fix it straight away
Hi Guys,
I have 25k currently saved for college fund, my kids are 10 and 7. Where is the best place to put this money now to get the best return in 8yrs time. The bank mentioned a share account to me for the best return, is this the best idea or should I go down the state savings route. Thanks...
Hi Guys,
I am selling some share options and want the funds transferred directly to my bank account. The US bank will only do this if I give them a Swift code which I have and an ABA routing code for my Bank (Bank of Ireland). I called the bank but the girl who answered hadn't a clue what I...
The hunger games trilogy are pretty good, and I just finished one called Before I go to Sleep by SJ watson (thriller) that was good. I can also recommend the room by Emma O'Donoghue
Apparently the Shar Roe restaurant in Clonegall, which is near bunclody is fabulous, i've heard great reports but you need to book in advance for weekend

Mount Wolesley in Tullow, Co Carlow. Great houses and great facilities for kids. Lots to do in the area too. Also food in hotel is great and they do a high tea for kids to get them out of you hair for a while!
Myself and my husband moved to Meteor a month ago and all I can say is that it is a terrible service. My husband can make calls but hasn't been able to receive calls since he changed. He spends about 30mins every evening when he gets home trying to get it sorted on the phone to meteor and even...
Hi all,
My small back garden is totally laid with patio stones. I want get them all lifted and get a lawn seeded instead as the kids are constantly injuring themselves on the stones. Can anyone recommend a gardener/handyman to do this and can anyone guess a cost? I reckon the garden is 15ft...
Thanks guys, so are you both saying that I should stick with the AVCs? I thought the advice on AAM was to buy back years in most cases? Do you really think that the government won't meet my pension obligation at retirement?
Hi all,
I am thinking about starting to buy back years instead of paying into AVCs. I will be 7 years short at age 65 and am 40 next birthday. My HR department are useless for any info but have told me that if I do decide to buy back years that you have to keep paying no matter what happens. I...
Congratulations! I would seriously consider going public if I was you. I went semi private with my 1st and public with my second and i can honestly say there wasn't much difference at all. With semi private you will still have a shortfall of approx 750euro when all the scans etc add up. My...
