I need to purchase travel insurance and I'm tempted to take out an aer lingus credit card as it includes insurance as one of it's benefits and I don't think there is a minimum spend required in order to redeem benefits. We currently don't have or need a credit card so I would really be taking it...

Could anyone recommend where we should invest our monthly childrens allowance? Currently €280/pm going into an AIB junior saver account with 2.25% interest. We'd have about another 8 years before we'd be looking to access this money. thanks.

We need to trade up our car and also have to buy a second car (we've held out for 7yrs but it's finally necessary). For the first time, we will not have the cash to make the purchase outright so we will need finance. Just wondering what is the best value finance available right now. I recall...

Our flight from JFK to Dublin was cancelled yesterday with only 14hours notice. We were re routed to CDG Paris and then Dublin as an alternative. Flight left JFK for CDG at almost the same time as our original scheduled flight but we got to Dublin over 6hours later than our original flight...

I have only once ever claimed on my insurance and it was about 12 years ago. I now have a dent on my car door and the repairs are €850 so more than a minor repair. Trying to figure out if it's worth claiming on the insurance or will my next premium increase exactly in line with my claim?

I'd like to learn more about my pension and how I can make it work for me. I've had a career break and have worked half time so I'm concerned that my pension contributions are quite low. Can anyone recommend pension advisors for both myself and my husband?

Hi, I've gone back to work so we have more disposable income than we are used to. I find it's disappearing on nothing and with interest rates still so low, I wonder is it worth just putting a couple of hundred off our mortgage every month? We have a split mortgage with approx 60% on a tracker of...

I returned to work in October and ceased receiving carers allowance at that time. I notified Revenue and they said they made the appropriate changes to my record. I just got my tax cert for 2022 and it has two references to carers that I don't understand: 1. Tax credits were reduced by €897 for...

I just got a statement of my preserved benefits from my public sector job that I recently left. Under the benefits payable section there is a retirement pension of 5k and a gross retirement gratuity of 27k. Can someone clarify what these figures actually are? Is the 5k my annual pension and the...

We have our mortgage with kbc (originally IIB) for 16 years. We've since moved and have a split mortgage of which approx 70% is a tracker. Not keen on the idea of our mortgage being bought by a vulcher fund but am I correct in that we wouldn't be able to switch provider and retain tracker?

I am trying to make my tax return for 2019 (Have always had an accountant do it but they let me down this year). I am absolutely useless at this stuff and am fumbling in the dark trying to learn from last years return. Have a million questions but firstly 1. Last year I was in receipt of carers...

So we find ourselves in the position where our current car has let us down a few times and I've no confidence in it anymore. So we're going to trade in. We are currently saving hard to do alot of house renovations within the next 2 years so using a huge chunk of that cash for a car is not an...

Upfront, I'm utterly clueless about tax but I really need to get my ducks in a row. I'll give the background: Spouse: Public Servant, Gross income €48k, FTE Me: Public service, Gross income €58k but now working on a .5 contract so that reduces to 29k. I also do a tiny bit of privately taxed...

We have a tiny little job that we need a tiler for. Probably only 30mins work so tiler would need to be living/working in maynooth to be bothered. If anyone here knows anyone interested, Thanks.

As per title, can anyone recommend an architect in the Dublin area to give Opinion on Exemption from Building Regs?

We are currently the highest bidders on a property which we really do want. We have been the highest bidders for a week and we got a call from estate agent yesterday to say there has been no movement from the underbidders. He spoke with the vendors and apparently they want closer to the asking...

We are currently bidding on a house and the estate agent has just suggested that we could pay a cash amount directly to the owner for white goods/contents. I'm a bit uncomfortable with this but just wonder if this normal and legit?
