Many thanks Conan and Wizard. I think by posing the query the issues became clearer to me and I delved deeper into the Revenue site. I learned that I do not have to declare my Cont. Pension.( Presumably the information is transferred from one Gov. dept to the other relevant one). My foreign...

I retired over 3 years ago at the age of 62. I recently turned 66 so I am now in receipt of a Contributory pension also. So my total income comes from the following 5 sources : Irish Occupational Pension, Irish Private pension, Irish Contributory pension, EU state pension and EU private pension...

If an Irish citizen and resident is going to receive a contributory pension from Ireland as well as a state pension from another EU country is there a ceiling or cap to the amount that can be received? In this case the person falls short of the maximum contributory rate in Ireland but when the...

Many thanks , Early Riser. I was aware of the Jobseekers Benefit and the Supplementary Pension but was not aware that PRSI was an intrinsic part of these processes.

This is a query on paying PRSI contributions after retirement. I plan to retire from a local authority when I reach the age of 63 at the end of the year. I will have worked 18 years in the local authority (joined in 2000) and with Added Years this will give me a pension based on approx. 21...

I sold a French property in October 2014. My French notaire ( solicitor) did all the French capital gains tax calculations and this amount was paid to the French tax authorities. I then calculated my Irish CGT and sent the appropriate amount by cheque to the offices in Limerick late last year...

This is the way I've been told PROFESSIONAL ADDED YEARS works for the local authorities. This applies for pension calculations and lump sum calculations from the local authority. Say service of 15 years and retiring at age 63: 1/3 of 15 years is allowed less age difference between retirement age...

Many thanks for the Link, Ircoha. I'm not sure what you mean when you ask "what is the AVC attached to?" The AVC was taken out through my local authority employer and payment is made through payroll.

Maybe Gipiman can answer the following? When I retire at 65 from the public srvice I will have spent 19.5 years as a public servant. I was employed initally in a temporary capacity and did not subscribe to the public servant pension, instead I subscribed to a private pension scheme. On...

Gipiman, Thanks for your quick reply.

Still not sure how the pension is calculated if one was to retire before 65. What is the situation with the following scenario? Age:54. In public service for 10 years. Normal retirement age is 65. If a person was to retire now at aged 54 under the new early retirement plan, is the pension...

Has anyone tried the Calor Gas Provence gas heater(bottled gas) advertised in today's Sunday newspapers. Quite expensive at 499 euros in Woodies.Has the technology improved as in the past gas heaters using bottled gas tended to dry the air too much etc. How many hours consumption can you expect...

If i were to inject a lump sum, say 50000, into my mortgage, is there a formula/calculation of what the effect would be either to monthly payments over the original 20 years mortgage period or if I was to reduce the loan period? Hope my query is clear.

In todays Sunday Independent there is an article about the English becoming interested in Irish stately homes again. One of the reasons given is "Most auctioneers agree that the primary reason...is the sterling/euro exchange rate which gives the UK buyer nearly a third of a discount on Irish...

Your neighbour may be referring to the Rights to Light issue ( not necessarily sunlight). This means she has the right to the light she has enjoyed for the last 20 years. There is a kind of rule of thumb applied in these situations: imagine a 45 degree angle starting from the base of the...
