    Senior colleague hounding me daily… how to establish limits?

    I saw a reply last week from someone external; ‘I’m aware it’s near Xmas and I’ll do my best, but please bear in mind I’ve other matters to deal with other than this’. Good answer. I think I’m gonna throttle my replies, thanks for that. I don’t need to answer every minute. At this stage of my...

    Senior colleague hounding me daily… how to establish limits?

    I do construction and renovation work, I’m a project manager with 15+ years under my belt. We have problems with our main contractor, they don’t have enough staff, they’re slow, their foreman was sick for weeks, they make excuses. Senior management know the problems, they’re copied on...

    Irish Times: "Is the RTB fit for purpose?"

    I agree with you, we need more asylums. I can tell you there's a large amount of people on their own who are not fit to look after themselves. It's immoral in its own right.

    Irish Times: "Is the RTB fit for purpose?"

    Yeah, the issue here is that there's totally insufficient support. It's been trialed successfully in other nations, but the success stories include a social worker on hand almost daily, whereas with the PMV trust they're lucky if they get seen once in a couple of months. Also, another issue is...

    Irish Times: "Is the RTB fit for purpose?"

    From my point of view, I see what PMV Trust actually do, as opposed to what they say they intend. They intend to get people off the streets, housing first is the key, get people a roof over the heads, and stability will (might) follow. What actually happens is that they put severely mentally...

    Retailer removed sales tag at till…

    Well… I got there and was met by a lady instead, who I assumed was his wife, judging by the size of the shop, age, how she carried herself. She exchanged it without any issue, extremely nice about it, so I went out to the car, jacket in the boot, got in.. Shop owner came out flailing, I locked...

    Retailer removed sales tag at till…

    Yeah, I’ve both. But, I’ve never seen a retailer pull the tag off of a coat. I think I’ll go back and ask to exchange, if he mentions there’s no tag, then ask why he removed it, cos I didn’t. You can see where he pulled it off hard, heavy card tag on a thread loop. Just mind boggling. Doesn’t...

    Delays and Costs - Who should pay?

    He said that the vendor's vendor (vendor 2) delayed and didn't move along, so he went with another house he was sale agreed on. That first house was due to close 3 weeks ago, since then we've been dragged along, being told; 'Vendor is actually sale agreed on another house, just haggling the...

    Delays and Costs - Who should pay?

    I’ve asked about that, I’ve been replied to (by my solicitor) saying; ‘it’ll be the 25th, give it a few days’ etc. The solicitor drew funds down without making sure that the vendor was totally ready, yes. This is what happened. Could that be why he’s not pursuing this for us? I’m getting...

    Delays and Costs - Who should pay?

    I’ve already written that I have, and his reply. He hasn’t acknowledged anything other than saying ‘it’s closing next week’ and telling me the estate agent is the one to talk to. You’ve been here commenting one liners since the start, you must have read it. Can’t understand, I’ve already said...

    Delays and Costs - Who should pay?

    Ok, the mortgage monies are drawn down 3 weeks at this stage, sitting in the solicitors bank account. Will the solicitors account be gaining interest on our money and is that our money that we're entitled to? We were meant to close 3 weeks ago, then the vendor said he was buying something else...

    Delays and Costs - Who should pay?

    Can't move in, vendor won't move out until he's 100% ready, which is the cause of the delay.
