    How to get a Manager to make a decision

    Complain to the manager directly and ask for a meeting with the owner to establish proceedures. It doesn't have to be too formal but it's a way to get the owner's ear / email. If the manager refuses contact the owner. Also start looking around for a new job. Sometimes it's better to try to care...

    New kitchen recommendations - Dublin

    Re: New kitch recommendations - Dublin If you go for an IKEA kitchen be prepared to spend time going back and forth as sometimes certain items are out of stock. You'll also need someone to deliver and install the kitchen.

    Bullied at work - do I have a legal case?

    Rois, I completely understand you wanting revenge and you were treated badly but you freely admit you made mistakes in dealing with the situation yourself. Think long and hard before you pursue it. It's not going to be a pleasant process. That said, it could be a wake-up call to the company and...

    Going to work & live in Spain (or continental Europe)

    I've some friends over there who are finding it tough to find work but that doesn't mean you shouldn't go. Also there are options for employment with native English () that Spaniards won't have. Finding a job is very difficult if you are not available locally. Is there a chance that one of you...

    Study French in France

    Strongly agree with Mr Toad. In my opinion transition year is a complete waste of time. Fair play to your son for having the maturity to make that decision.

    Ryanair refund for connecting flights

    If the flight was with a different airline I wouldn't expect a refund. It's the fact that Ryanair cancelled the flight and offered no refund for the London Dublin flight that gets to me. Also to clear it up the flights are for MARCH 2010. I didn't miss a flight. If I missed a flight I'd pay for...

    Ryanair refund for connecting flights

    Thank you for some very good posts. My point was that Ryanair cancelled the flight to Germany from London (March 2010) but I had bought tickets from Dublin to London with the aim of getting to Germany. I realise what it says in the small print but seeing as they cancelled the fligths and also...

    Why wont/don't Irish Websites Show Prices?

    Re: Why Won't Irish Websites Show Prices? Bluebells, fair play to you for buying elsewhere. With the internet there's always a choice. If enough people do this you'll have prices up soon enough. As for the local hotelier. Serves him right.

    PS3 packed in: Sony don't want to know...

    I believe you have two years reasonable use with electronic items for which the shop is liable and should refund or replace. The one year warranty is used to confuse people. Enforce your contract with the shop and make a claim against them. We let retailers away with murder here. The main reason...

    Hit by uninsured; my solr incompetent

    Get a new solicitor. He's not doing his job and you can always counter if he comes after you for "expenses". If he can't be bothered doing the work you're paying him to do what are the chances of him pursuing you through the courts?

    Ryanair refund for connecting flights

    I recently bought a ticket to Germany and the flight was cancelled. I got the refund for that no problem. Ryanair said that I was not entitled to any compensation for the connecting flight to London (purchased seperately). They told me I'd have to take legal action. Which I'm pretty sure I will...

    Financial Regulator's Consumer Panel slams Financial Regulator

    At what point do you intervene to stop a property bubble. The economy benefited hugely from the property market in the last ten years. People need to stop blaming others and take responsibility for their actions. Also, when in the last thousand years has Ireland taken a lead in anything besides...

    when do changes to social welfare (JS) take effect?

    I think it would be safer to contact the department of social welfare and see if it's possible to perpetrate this type of fraud. There has to be a system in place or a post office could take a euro from everyone and make a fortune. I'm assuming you can't collect the benefit as cash and there's...

    Non residential Summer camps in Galway or around

    I'd say the easiest way is to look after you arrive. Local parent techers associations or church groups are a great place to start for recommendations. If you're children still haven't mastered basic English you can find here a list of English language schools in Galway that might be easier to...
