    Downsizing to a bungalow

    I wouldn't move if the payoff was only €100k and there was work to be done on the new property. Just make your existing home more comfortable.

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    Can't see those prices on Ryanair to Seville. I was there recently. Hotels (accommodation) are not cheap.

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    You were just bumped on to the flight that no one wanted. Ryanair knew that they could still sell the mid day flight. Well done for being aware of this and thumbs down to Ryanair for trying to trick you. You can't keep up with them....

    I messed up my house move - financial mess

    It happed to us many years ago. We ended up living in a mobile home in Brittas Bay and travelling to Dublin. One son doing his Leaving Cert at the time. Stressful for us all. We asked the builder to pull out all the stops and he did. We ended up being the first people living in the estate with...

    Today the 4th March, I received my savings account bank statement from the EBS showing transactions up to the 31st December 2023. Is it not possible for these to be posted out sooner?

    Flights to Majorca.....winter months.

    You will probably need to fly to Barcelona or Valencia and from there hop on a cheapo flight to Palma. Maybe make it a two centre holiday.

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    So, they have bumped you off your flight so they can sell your seat at a higher price to someone else. They have also charged you €30 more for the early morning flight than is currently available. Is this not illegal and can something be done about it?

    End of Year Statement. Tax.

    Is it still possible to get an End of Year P.A.Y.E. tax statement in paper form from Revenue without having to go through the myAccount online form. It used to be standard to get amended tax credits etc. in the post after the various budget changes. Thanks

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    Ryanair have announced a summer sale today. The funny thing about this is...I was tracking a flight to a Portuguese destination for a while now, and some of the prices have actually increased overnight. (September flight). With all the posts about the changing of schedules if you book more...

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    So lots of schedule changes then. It suggests to me, not to book anything with Ryanair or reserve any hotels or transfers until you are inside 3 months of your flight. It appears that they will eventually issue you with an email when they are good and ready. So, I will amend the following...

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    Marsupial. What is it about this that you do not understand? They are not sending the email to people. 9.1.1 When we accept your booking, the scheduled flight timings and flight numbers in force at the time will be shown in your booking confirmation or itinerary. The flight timings and flight...

    PTSB Customer Service....Dreadful.

    Further Update. The lady in customer complaints told me on the phone on December 22nd that she would ring the branch where I was having the problem and also listen to the recording of my conversation with a person in customer service in mid November and get back to me that day. She never got...

    Dubray Books. How can they justify Euro/Sterling exchange rate being used.

    I will be travelling to a shopping centre where they have an outlet, next week. I will randomly check about 20 books in their store to see what the story is and report back.

    New-build snagging disaster

    Also measure the footprint of the house against the show house footprint. Reading this reminds me of when we purchased our new build back in the mid 90's. We ended up taking the builder to court and it was settled before hand for 10% of the original purchase price. Over the years we fixed...

    Dubray Books. How can they justify Euro/Sterling exchange rate being used.

    When you are browsing the bookshelves in a bookstore the last thing on your mind is calculating the "custom charges", "the cost of doing business in Ireland", the "profit margin", the "exchange rate". We have no idea how Dubray Books calculate these add-ons. It looks as if €5 has been added on...

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    We have been doing the same....why?..........to accommodate the airlines and their ever changing schedules. It is sad that we have got to the stage where we have to add an extra day on the front and end of our holidays to lessen the stress.
