When did the price of a birth cert rise to €20?
The last time I had to get one it was only €8 and it wasn't so long ago..
Due to our company pension scheme being wound up (I'll keep that rant for another day!) I had to get my birth cert, marriage cert and wife's birth cert so that I can claim the pittance in my pension scheme.
As the wife works for the same company, in the same pension scheme she too had to provide a birth cert for herself, my birth cert and a marriage cert.
My jaw nearly hit the floor when the girl behind the counter asked for €120 for the 6 certs. She even felt embarrassed asking for the money.
Easy money for the state from a captive audience....
Bloody stealth taxes....
