Thanks for responses. I think the key point here is that contributions paid while out of the workforce may be carried forward and used against future earnings on return to paid employment.

Probably an obvious answer to this one.. my wife has inherited some money and was thinking of topping up her pension fund with some of the proceeds (€20k). She has not worked for four years though, and as a result has not paid any tax or completed any self-assessment tax returns. The...

Thanks Tony Looking into currency fair now as an option for regular transfers

Regular transfers Very useful post. Has any used service like CurrencyFair for regular (monthly) transactions between sterling (UK) and euro (ROI) bank accounts?

Transfers from NI account My work situation is changing and I have the option to be paid is sterling - working for UK company, but from Ireland. There are complicated tax benefits doing this that I don't yet fully understand.. But for now the question is, if I open a bank account in Belfast...

HSF anyone? Anyone had experience or heard of this service? [broken link removed]

Thanks snowyb, good point. Although at end of day it comes down to personal risk threshold

Quote I got is from Aviva level 2, and incorporates discounts for having other policies with them..

Today I came home to a renewal notice from my health insurer. Thankfully we are a healthy young family - 2 adults and 3 kids under age 7. The premium for next year runs to more than €3300.. So leads me to think, is it really worth it? For starters I should admit, I worked in Insurance (and...

with expected ECB interest rate hikes this year, do you think 3 years is a long time to fix in for?

A brief update: For the past week i've made more effort with the dog to walk her in evening and let her back into the living room for company for an hour or two before bedtime. Since doing so I'm glad to report that she has not had any more episodes of fouling inside or directly outside her...

Firefly - I've heard of that approach but I'm not too keen on 'staking out' her kennel at night waiting to catch her mid-poo! Vernon - that might be a good option to change the type of nuts. will give it a go.

All your comments are appreciated, thanks a lot. She does get regular exercise and as we live in the country she is 'socialising' lots during the day with neighbours dogs in nearby fields, which can be rigourous! My wife walks her every day but juggling three young children means the dog...

Our 1 year old golden retriever has started a nasty habit of fouling her kennel in the last few weeks. We've wormed her but still does it. We've also left her kennel door open at night, and secured her with a very long leash so she can access the garden to relieve herself if needed (whilst not...

Re: Does your bank inform you by letter or email of rate changes? banks will give notice of rate increase to ensure customers have funds available e.g. for regular electronic transfers of mortgage repayment i think the notice in the press for rate decrease is pretty standard approach. i'm...

I'm buying a 2008 car that was registered in March 2008. The car tax has lapsed. When I go to renew will I benefit from new C02 ratings?

Reading the very handy www.vrt.ie site I see a note regarding 2008 cars (pre July): >New cars registered between 1 January 2008 and 30 June 2008 will initially have their motor tax charged on the basis of the existing engine size (c.c.) system. However, a low CO2 emitting new car registered...

Sounds like a lot of hassle for you and that you had to excercise the warranty to the hilt! I have another test drive today and I can't help wondering why a Feb 08 car is back for sale in the garage - its not a demo model. Did the previous owner default on repayment, or had they too much...
