I eventually got through to the SUSI Helpline. Apparently the redundancy is taken into account but if they "make a case" it will be looked at sympathetically but no guarantee of a grant. Not sure what kind of a case they can make apart from they both being on social welfare now and they needing...

My sister is applying for a SUSI grant for her son. Under normal rules they would qualify for a grant as both parents are now unemployed and 2013 income was under the limit. However my sister received a redundancy payment late 2013 which will bring them over the limit. As this was a once off...

I've just tried to check in for a Ryanair flight departing next Wednesday 16 April and returning 25 April. Check in for outward journey is fine as it's under 7 days to travel, however it won't allow me to check in for the return journey as it's more than 7 days away. I know I can check in...

Deas - it was serviced over a year ago and there wasn't any problem with the sensors, in fact the battery on the front door was replaced. We are very careful to close that door properly and gently so it can't be that the door is not closing properly. Emeralds- maybe....... I read before that...

We are on monitoring only with Phonewatch. Some time ago, the alarm kept going off when we went out - it was the front door sensor. Eventually I told them that I would call out their engineer to service it. Hey presto, the alarm didn't go off again and I didn't call for a service. Now it has...

I'm looking for a gardener /handyman to do a clean up of my garden. It's a normal size garden for a 3 bed semi in Douglas, Cork. May suit a retired person as I may need ongoing maintenance. Any recommendations please?

Anybody got any recommendations for private transfer from Malaga Airport to Calahonda please? We are arriving at 21.30pm with a 3 yo child so don't want to be messing with buses/trains at that hour. There are 5 in our party so one taxi won't suffice. If we get 2 taxis it will cost c.€50 each...

Does anybody know how LPT will be assessed in the case of a house which is also used as a B&B i.e. about 80% of the house is used for business purposes and the remaining 20% is the private part of the dwelling in which the owner lives. Will the full value of the property be liable to LPT because...

RCI points Deli, assuming you had paid the "deposit", did you have any trouble getting it back? Also, did you use a registered letter to withdraw - I assume if I send an email, they will / may deny receiving it.

Thanks Billo - interesting reading. Does any reader have access to the RCI points calendar? As an example, we were advised that Holiday Palace Hotel near Fuengirola would "cost" 23,000 in Week 36 - September. Is this correct as some reports indicate that this may be misleading and in fact, the...

Anybody familiar with the RCI points scheme or the Diversified Resorts group operating out of Sunset Beach Club in Benalmadena? Basically we were there last week and long story short, agreed to sign up for the scheme which looks good on paper. However after googling it, I see a lot of...

Anybody know if it is possible for me in Ireland to buy a Stg£ One4all card as a gift for somebody in the UK? I have tried on their website but when I go to check out, it constantly throws up an error and I can't proceed with payment.

Cambrils Apartment/Hotel Thanks but Cambrils Park and Sanguli are totally booked up.

Flying to Reus on 21 June and looking for an apartment or hotel in the Cambrils area. We are 3 adults with a 3yo so looking for something family friendly and with a pool. A 2 bed apartment would be ideal. Any recommendations please

I am due to return to work having been on maternity and unpaid leave for a year. During my absence my job has been changed so when I return, I will not be doing the job which I left, well maybe 10% of it. I am seriously thinking of resigning for a number of reasons, one of which is a very long...

The room is a spare room and it hasn't been used in months and we haven't put anything new into it. We thought about whether the smell is coming from outside but we can't get it elsewhere - not outside or in any other room. Anybody know who I should contact to have a look at the room?

Since Christmas we have a smell in one of our bedrooms which is like paint or turpentine. There has been no painting done recently so it can't be that. Plumber has had a look and there seems to be no leaks anywhere. Any advice on what we can do to solve it? Is there somebody we can get to come...

Suem001, are the apartments in Sunset Beach very small? They look it in the pictures I've seen. Would we be able to fit a cot in there or would one of us be sleeping on the sofa bed? Also if the weather isn't great, are there facilities in the hotel for kids? Thks

We are planning on going to the sun first week of February with our 2 and a half year old, from either Cork or Shannon. Don't really want to go to Canaries as we've been there so many times and flight is very long for our v active child. Any ideas on mainland Spain or Portugal - would the...

Anybody know where I can get a large bean bag in time for Christmas - preferably in the Munster area?
