    Children inheriting shares.

    you should be able to open a custodial account for each child where you can manage the shares on their behalf until they are adults. I put this arrangement in place with a broker for my children when their grandfather gifted them shares when they were babies.

    Credit Card Problem

    I would think that how this is viewed now by authorities in Ireland will depend somewhat on the steps you took while in India when this alleged fraud against you took place. Did you report this immediately to the Indian police or to Irish Embassy (not sure if Ireland has an Embassy there but...

    Dogs peeing in the house

    You could try diluting baking soda in water and cleaning the area with that. baking soda is a good odor neutraliser. I wonder though why your dogs are unable to go the night without peeing? Are they puppies? Are they drinking more in the hot weather? perhaps taking them for a walk before...

    Getting rid of Credit Card debt

    I have read about a concept called snowflaking which is essentially making extra small payments when extra money is found against credit card debt so that you are chipping away at the balance and it decreases faster than just making the budgeted monthly payment. "extra" money could be money not...

    Mount Temple - is it a good school?

    My children went to Mount Temple and thoroughly enjoyed their time, played rugby, took part in school trips, student council etc and at the end had good leaving cert exams and got their first choices at excellent universities. So our experience was very positive. Both kids studying science in UK...

    I am being bullied by my boss

    I think you need to check the Dignity at Work policy applicable to your company, as bringing solicitors to meetings may not be expressly allowed and in that case people who do not wish to bring in a work colleague or trade union representative, often bring in a friend or close family member for...

    Rights of siblings with shared inheritance

    You could offer to buy their shares of the house at a current valuation, then they have their inheritence and you can take the time to invest in the house for an expected greater price in future. I think that is the only option open to you which satisfies all three of you. If you cant pursuade...

    Domicile and offshore account question

    I responded to your post because I see myself in a similar situation but in my case Im not an EU citizen, but married to Irish citizen and residentand working here for many years. The question of domicile for tax purposes in my own case is simple enough as I only travel to my "home" country for...

    Domicile and offshore account question

    From the information given, it would appear that you are domiciled in ireland for tax purposes. The fact that you hold UK citizenship doesnt change the fact that you live, work and pay tax in Ireland. I dont think you are going to find a tax free haven for this money but perhaps a family member...

    3rd Level Grant for UK

    One of my sons is an undergrad at Univ of Edinburgh and we had to pay fees his first year because we missed the window to apply to have the tuition waived. The application has to be made between April and June and he hadnt even sat his leaving at that stage but he did apply for the waiver this...

    3rd Level Grant for UK

    I dont know the answer to your question but I would be surprised if any Irish grant covers the full cost of UK fees now as university tuition alone has gone up considerably in the past year or so to approx 9000 sterling so probably over 10000 euro. Adding in cost of living etc it is a...

    Ulster Bank Systems Down, Many Left Without Money

    a large cheque lodged by me at my branch on 25 June into the special interest account still not credited as of today. I was asked if I was issued with a receipt and I showed the handwritten and stamped receipt and then I was asked if I had a photocopy of the cheque - uh - NO, that wasnt...

    How to pay for the extras in life

    What works for us is to save regularly into accounts which are not our regular current/household account.. This way the money is kind of out of sight out of mind. We set up a regular savings account with EBS to fund large college expenses for our kids and this money can be accessed on maturity...

    Flowering outside brick houses

    It looks like it could be aubretia. We have some in a border and it comes alive at this time of year but ours is more of a bluey purple. I was thinking of dividing it and putting it out the front wall to see if it would root.

    Rottweiler found in my garden

    If in the end you have to surrender her to a pound, you might try the one in Slane - her chances of surviving a surrender should be better. I know of a rescue that works closely with that pound and fosters the dogs out to families. If she has a gentle disposition that should also be a...

    Rottweiler found in my garden

    Try contacting Dogs in Distress. They might be able to help or point you in the direction of another rescue. I would say that taking the dog to a pound should be an absolutely last resort because I believe that the breed is on the restricted list and I know that when these breeds get into...

    DIRT question: non-resident but no fixed address

    I think the tax codes/treaties assume if you are not a resident of one country that you must be a resident of another, no one becomes stateless when taking a long trip. I think unless you can prove that you have established a bona fide residence in another country and have spent some required...

    potential problems with this site

    My advice would be to avoid this one. I cant get my head around how a house could be built on that site from the information you posted. It looks like you wont have any access to the rear of the house except from the house as with only 4 meters, you wont have much to play around with. You will...
