If the motivation is to get drivers to slow down.....and flashing other drivers causes them to slow down...job done, no? Maybe that's what the Gardai themselves should do...drive around in unmarked cars, flashing other drivers at random!!

You've just reminded me that all children born in 2000 were supposed to receive something like 6 books, and a lifetime library membership. There might have been more but I can't remember. Absolutely diddly ever came through, certainly not for my youngest. As for the Millennium candle, I'm sure...

This is not my experience. I have 2 rented properties. Application packs were sent directly to the properties, addressed to "The Occupier". An application pack for my own home came to me, addressed to me. Incidentally, both rental properties have tenancies registered with PRTB, and all taxes...

BOI now in profit aswell. What happens to these profits at the end of year? Will they be handed over to the state as the major (in AIB's case the only) shareholder?

I've been on a few times today, both a.m & p.m with no problems.

Hi Sylv, For girls, there are three secondary schools in Navan. Two of those (St. Michael's Loreto & Mercy College) are for girls only, while the third, Beaufort VEC is mixed. The first two I mentioned would have much better reputations than the third. All three are in or very close to the...

Given that the 20 year old is working, maybe they're considered self-sufficient for the purposes of the guidelines? (I'm not saying I would agree with this approach necessarily.) There's definitely a gap in the guidelines for the over 18 group, particularly with regard to those in full-time 3rd...

Richard, Under the Fair Deal scheme, the assessment of the amount eventually due from your Father's estate is made at the point of his entering the scheme (ie now), and this amount is frozen. If your Father wins the lottery the day after, the assessment would not change and he would not owe...

For me, its one of the annual hazards of the season, that some colleague will attempt to cajole me into attending the xmas party. In my current job for about 15 years, I've never attended. In fact, there was a conversation just last week when I was "arm-twisted", and asked if I didn't feel...

So does this mean that there is no such thing as a tax free lump sum anymore, as in for PS workers?

I opted to pay mine by monthly direct debit, beginning 1st July. No payment has been taken from my account yet.

No problem, using IE9

We have a soakaway pit in the garden into which all the wastewater flows, along with the percolated waste from the septic tank. Its been working away for years, with no problem until about 6 weeks ago,when the soakway overflowed, and also backed up water into the septic tank, causing it to fill...

There seems to be a gap in the guidelines with regard to the set expenses to be allowed where there is a third-level student in a family. All examples are based on either one or two adults, with or without children. The tables then only show what amount to allow, under set expenses, for children...

I smell a rat with their "error". You've got a really good price on your holiday by booking early (when there was loads of availability), but now, months later they've double booked. Why then should it be you who loses out? They have, according to them, allowed a booking to go through when there...

Yes I've used them once or twice. No problems, very good rates. They also send you real tickets, not vouchers to be exchanged like some others.

Some of today's newspapers are carrying articles referring to guidelines on reasonable living expenses (which purport to rule out Sky Sports, 2nd Cars, foreign holidays etc) or those seeking debt write down deals with their banks. They don't cite any source for this information, nor can I...

Folks, Thanks for the advice on this. I decided to call a local "Mr Fix-it" guy who has helped me in the past with all sorts of jobs. He called out and immediately set to work isolating various pieces of the electric jigsaw one at a time to find the root of the problem. Turns out the issue...

We have our own domestic well with pump. The pump itself is located in a boiler house, and the system is linked to a pressure tank & water softener system. The whole thing was inherited from previous owner, and I'm not 100% on what is being powered from where; ie there is a single plugged cable...

Hi Dodo, We've been to Orlando a few times (2AD & 2Ch), and it really is a brilliant holiday, you won't regret the extra cost. We've used American Holidays a couple of times and found them very easy to deal with, no real problems. We've also done the "DIY" option, which is a little more...
