No - we'd end up even worse off. She had no concept of compromise. She ended up being ousted because of her disasterous attitudes to people. The only way to deal with the EU/IMF/bondholders is in a measured & responsible way - that doesn't mean it's a weak response.

Of course excessive laws/regulation isn't the answer, but I would have hoped that by looking back at the history we would have learned something & be able to build a better society, government & commercial template for the future than what has gone before. I remember the despair of father being...

As someone who lived under that regime - she was a disaster - more poverty & misery. Protocol - there is nothing wrong with protecting workers rights, I don't know when that became a bad thing. We have experienced here what it is like when banks have been able to run-amok - not a good thing I...

Thanks Brendan, the mort is actually on our family home & we own the rental property outright. I may contact BOS & see what they come up with - just to see what our options would be. I wouldn't tell them we would be in a position to pay it off in total, just that we "may" be coming into some...

We own a rental property for which we have a mort of 130,000 interest only thru bank of Scotland. It's been rented for the past 4 years, thankfully, and it covers the repayments & insurance. The current tenant will be moving out in May & we'll have to do a few small jobs to try & rent it out...

I only watched a small bit of the programme & wasn't impressed either - I've gone off "Kirsty" anyway. The TV3 couple are so annoying that I can't watch it anymore - with all the flirting going on - I feel like telling them to "get a room", very disappointing

Oh No! Not that I was doing anything with them it's only about 350 shares, so I'll just keep them & see what happens. Maybe in 20 years time they might be worth a few bob!

I have some shares - not many - but what happens to the share holders if /when the state takes over?

Anyone any updates on free anti virus? I had Norton & it's about to run out - should I buy one or use the freebies available?

Never been on a cruise, so what are prices like on the ship - apart from the trips, drinks etc?

No problem and keep away from those scissors!! Lovely tie backs in Dunnes at the moment.

The garda was inept enough to spot you! You were breaking the law.

DGOBS thanks for the info I'll check out the seai website. What I meant was that the burner doesn't have a big chimney. The boiler is outdoors. Sorry to be so thick - but what do you mean by "system controls".

If there is tape knot one end (so you don't just pull it right out!) and gather. Even if they are tab top hang them up & gather on the pole. It looks nicer to have "full" curtains rather than measly looking ones. You could even get a couple of tie-backs to hold back neatly when open...

Just been told our oil burner (type with no big flue burns kerosene ??) What recommendations & costs involved in replacing? Also would we be able to apply for a grant? As you will see from the first sentence - not in the least bit technically minded, so if anyone does have advice keep it...

Depending on the type of curtain you have - you could just gather them to make them hang properly. Don't cut them before you try them on the curtain pole!

I would make the claim now - if your employer says he cannot afford to pay claim direct from the department.

According to the seai website a BER cert is valid for 10 years so it could be worth getting anyway. But I do agree, it does seem to be a bit of a raquet

There is good information on the dept of trade website

I've a similar query, we have an interest only mort with BOS for a rental property which is paying it's way - at the moment - we have enough cash to pay it off if we want to. Would there be any sense in clearing it? If we sold it would (just) pay off the mortgage, that's if we could actually...
