How about the printer that is available only today on Ibood dot com, Ireland page for €349.95 (sorry but can't post links yet) I have an older version of this Konica/Minolta workhorse and it is great. To me, this is a great price.

I switched to Sky in February and initially took the Sky Talk Freetime package. This gives free local calls during evenings and weekends. However, I have since upgraded to Sky Talk Anytime as the cost of local calls is astronomical outside of the free times. 9.7cent connection fee plus 6.7 cent...

Anybody considered Prize Bonds? Would your money be secure and out of reach of grabbers? Zero interest but you may get a return if you purchase significant numbers.

For my 50th birthday last July, my wife & I flew to Vancouver, spent 3 days there before boarding a 7 day cruise up the Alaskan coast to Anchorage. Spent a further 4 days touring almost up to the Arctic circle. Breathtaking is how I would describe the entire trip and believe it or not the...

Same thing happened to my Sky+HD box today, switched itself off 3 times during the Cork - Down match. Nothing to do with overheating if it has been happening to other users at the same time in my opinion.

It is only on the Taxable portion. If your taxable amount is significant, it is likely you will overpay the income levy as it is applied on a week/month 1 basis. You will be able to reclaim the overpayment at the start of 2011 by applying directly to the revenue commissioners.

Thanks Gipimann. So instead of getting 52 weeks payment I can only receive a maximum of 43 weeks?

Can anybody help clear up my confusion please. I received a redundancy payment of more than €90k and a disqualification period of 9 weeks applies to my JB payment. Does this mean I lose 9 weeks entirely or will I get the 9 weeks back payment when my claim is processed. Thanks in advance.
