    Electric Cars - a ridiculous product

    It’s more likely because of the recent hysteria around trade in values for electric vehicles. Nothing to do with being an inferior product at all. Newer technology is always more expensive.

    Barbados apartment is filthy - any comeback?

    You need to take this up with booking.com as your contract is with them. Did you use your phone to take photos? These often come with time and date stamps as proof of when you took the photos. Given the hosts response I would avoid contacting them again. You need to seek escalation. As you...

    Estate agent fees in Dublin

    1-1.5% is pretty standard plus costs. (Advertising etc). You may get less but I doubt it in Dublin.

    Ombudsman rejects complaint on AIB simple interest issue

    + 1 to that. We were able to pay off a significant chunk of our mortgage (we had moved) as well as all other short term debt. At the very least however, if enough people have followed up this issue it might result in the ombudsman clarifying what type of interest should be paid in future cases.

    Re-Turn Plastic Bottles

    well then the only ones who lose out is those individuals. If they put it in a recycling bin that’s great. It still gets recycled. They just lose out on getting their deposit back. I would foresee that situation when someone buys a single bottle, drinks it, and hasn’t got a convenient location...

    Re-Turn Plastic Bottles

    Agree. Once flaws are resolved and given a chance, if it’s not successful it should be looked at . I wonder though if the Irish public would be happy if the results pointed the finger of blame at us rather than the system. Time will tell.

    Re-Turn Plastic Bottles

    I never said ban them. You have a choice. People went nuts about the plastic bag tax years ago. Slowly they stopped using them (as much) I am not pretending it is not inconvenient.
