What specific question do you have or what issues are of concern to you?
Question 1:
I intend to return to Ireland this summer (after 180 days), I should have approximately 300k EUR in cash along with the above assets, with no debts. I would like to invest this 300k in something like an all world ETF for 20 years to get 8% return on average over the 20 years and retire when I have about 1.4 mill there. I'll live off that plus the rental income. I do not have any Irish pension or any other private pension. I may have in the future, but cannot guarantee any sort of consistent or meaningful work over the next 20 years. What is the recommended vehicle to use to shield from the impact of deemed disposal. Investment trusts?

Question 2: I live near Fermanagh, so have the benefit of the border. If i work, it'll likely be for a UK company. Are there any benefits or possibilities that would come from being border adjacent, for example being resident (on paper) in the UK, while the rest of the family reside in ROI?

Question 3: An open ended question: What would you do differently to me, assuming that selling none of the property is negotiable, nor is selling the crypto.
