While it's annoying, is it worth your time and energy? As per above I'd write it off and move on

Thanks Bluecup, good to know what a judge would look at. I believe the perpetrator would fail on all these counts - a public meeting was planned without our knowledge, they communicated with the council without our knowledge (and asked them to take the laneway under their remit) and they crossed...

I'm not sure about the disclaimer to be honest. But the council were unequivocal in their email to this person that there was no right of way on it from their point of view. Nobody has been using the laneway except in times of flooding, it has always been private property. When it comes down...

I agree about too many public rights of way being blocked off. And we'd be happy for people to cross our property - but not if they're causing damage or bringing diggers. Can you explain a little more about what you mean about the bar being set high to prove a right of way? What exactly has to...

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. CR1 is a public county road which leads to our home and that of the perpetrator. CR2 is also a county road that runs parallel but separate. Between CR1 and CR2 is our farm (and a Coillte forest and another landowner) and across our farm is an old laneway. It is this...

Yes, there is an old laneway which crosses our property, a Coillte forest and then another landowners. How it got there, we don't know, it was always there in our lifetimes. But it has never been used by the public. We have looked but cannot find any documents to state there is a right of way...

Yes, it is unfortunately. We did get SC advice and we were warned that because there is a lane, that could muddy the waters. We feel that if someone wants to register a right of way, they can go ahead and produce evidence of their claim. But it could be harder for us to disprove a right of way...

Hello oh wise ones, I'm looking for some advice on a right of way issue (sigh.....). Our rural family home is at the end of a county road, let's say 'CR1'. Another road runs parallel but separate, let's call it CR2. In recent years flooding has massively increased and CR1 was occasionally...

The most important thing when sending in an FOI is to ensure you ask for EVERYTHING. You may think you are but they find ways to wriggle around the wording. When requesting the info ask for "all manner of records as defined in the Acts, including without limitation, all memorandums, attendances...

Probably. In fairness, if they see that you're spending your money on gambling online, or going out for expensive dinners, they would be within their rights to turn you down for interest only. They really just want to see that you're not wasting money and that you are genuinely in financial...

It's not in their interests to repossess your house. If they do that they're left with an asset that is worth very little, and the loan is still outstanding. What the ideally want is for you to repay your mortgage in the long term. They may try to bully you but ultimately you have the upper hand...

You need to read your original contract. If it states that the tracker is only applicable if the property is your PPR (principal primary residence - ie, your home), then yes, you could lose it. The other argument is that you could only lose it in this instance if you tell them you're renting out...

If I was you I would take a very long hard look at the relationship between the Union and the company. If the union officials have been in that role for years, chances are they are very close to management and both parties would be happy with a quick settlement. But what's in their interests...

Ring the office and ask for an immediate written response as to why they're holding your passport. If they won't/don't supply one, ask to speak or meet with the office manager. It's totally outrageous to hold onto someone's passport for that length of time

Apparently you should get both different types of locks - a chain, and the u-shaped rigid lock. The wisdom behind it is that most bike thieves will have the aparatus for breaking just one, either bolt cutters for the chain or a a hammer for breaking u-shaped lock. I guess if you have both you...

That's a difficult question as it mostly comes down to your mindset, your family circumstances and how much cash you have to pay your mortgage. For example, if you're comfortable with the idea of interest rates rising and you can afford the increases, you should probably stay on the variable...

I assume you were told this in court today? It means that the lender has been granted a repossession order but that they can't take the house for three months. The 'stay' is usually granted to allow those living there to sort out other living arrangements. It's highly unlikely you can make...

This question has been answered many times before. You need to check your loan documentation as it may state that the terms could change if the property is no longer your PPR. The best thing to do it not to tell your bank. So long as you keep paying your mortgage they'll be happy enough

I think he would find it very difficult to 'prove' that he has been using the grass from that field for the past 30 years. That said, you don't want a row with your new neighbour and proper legal advice from solicitor who has experience of dealing with such issues is a must. If your gut tells...

Conor Pope was on the Ray D'Arcy Show this morning apologising and explaining the error. In fairness to the guy, he made a mistake and it's just unfortunate that his mistake is read by tens of thousands of people and then heard by thousands more on the radio
