We flew to Toronto with Air Transat 18 months ago, absolutely fine. We are also flying to Toronto this June and coming back from Montreal to visit both cities. flights were around €500 when we booked them about a month ago, but spent around a month looking for the best deals and times and the...

I had the exact same issue as you (you can probably search for previous posts). I did not pay. Not wishing to get into whether other people think I was right or wrong - just answering your question. Did not pay two invoices for advertising which was never mentioned to me, neither had I signed...

Unbelievable to see the shambles this turned out to be. Have to say though couldn't help feeling it serves anyone who bought a ticket right. More money than sense.....

I think the OP gets the message at this stage everyone lol

Wow thanks Greenfield (and Trafford), I just looked that up and yes, you're right I am entitled to get paid for it. I was of the understanding that they were trying to do me out of that day's pay but I will now ensure that I get paid for it. Cheers!

I handed in my notice today (still on probationary period as only began the job prior to Christmas but hate it as it is not what was agreed in the interview........) Month's notice = 19th March - HR one (annoyed that I'm leaving) says 'okay then that's 19th March but that's a bank holiday so...

Couldn't agree more - I thought the same thing myself when I heard the budget this year. In my mind there is no excuse for being unemployed in this economy. Sickness / mental health is a different story as disability benefit covers this. My cousin is 21 and has Down's Syndrome, and is almost...

I used to work with this guy Damien Leith in a pharmaceutical company about 8 years ago. I only heard his name on the radio today when he was being interviewed - couldn't believe it!!! Would have loved to have been following it if it was shown here, he was a really nice guy and always into his...

It was a psychiatry service in Dublin. The clinicians would compain about 'a mountain of paperwork' to excuse the fact that they would see so few patients. The consultant was out schmoozing with Bertie a few weeks ago and said to me 'I told him about the length of the waiting list', to which I...

I just left a job in the health sector last month. With no job lined up as I could not stick it any longer. Without going into too much detail about it, my supervisor sat all day playing solitaire (which was an ongoing joke, everyone knew about it) but it ground me down eventually and when I...

So glad to see a thread on this! We returned from Eindhoven on Monday and yes, the clapping started on landing. I can't get my head around it, as I said to my OH, what are they clapping for - the fact that we didn't crash?????? Were they expecting to crash????? Weird.

No, I wouldn't think twice about capitalising on the idiotic county counci's mistake, and you're right Meccano, I DON'T believe you wouldn't either!

Well said DaltonR. The undercurrent of the protestors on this thread is that of envy or jealousy towards O'Gara because he got the land for the price he got it and now stands to make a massive profit. Is anyone here trying to say that if they had the chance to buy that land at that price that...

I would apply electronically and then follow up with phone calls. You probably have to accept that you will be on a very low wage to begin with, but if you can afford to work for a low enough wage I'm sure you could get in somewhere.

Of course you'll lose your deposit if you walk away. That is the whole purpose of charging you the deposit when you sign the contracts.

irishkiwi197 i have been in exactly the same position as you - about 10 years ago, got thrown in at the deep end onto a helpdesk with no training whatsoever. Expected to answer calls all day and get through a list of stuff also. The worst part is when you don't actually know what the callers...

Maybe take a look on Homewise.ie?? You might find someone in your area there.

My mam and dad's next door neighbours applied for a 2 storey extension and were granted permission. My parents were not happy as it has quite an effect on their garden. But like some replies recommend, they did not object because they didn't want to fall out with the neighbours. The...

If you are organised it is possible to close within 4 weeks. We had our deeds ready, management company stuff sorted, everything paid up to date in anticipation so everything was sorted within about 24 days. I know this is highly unusual but just saying it is possible. We were selling...

Yes I think so. My broker told me that when the bank knows you are nearing completion (through liason with you or your broker) they will send you out an amended offer letter with the new rate. I would imagine if your original letter was January that you will have to provide up to date payslips...
