    Setting up a Creche

    Your best bet would be to contact your local childcare committee and explain what you are hoping to do and possibly bring in plans of the building. They will be aware of local competition and issues you might face. They may also refer you to the HSE Childcare Officer in the area.

    High Gloss or Oak kitchen

    We went for a white high gloss but millenium cream granite so that the look was a bit different and hopefully won't date as quickly as black granite and white. Have to say, I am stunned how much brighter the room looks. I would tend to agree, go for what you like rather then what will last...

    Concerned about a few external/internal cracks - who exactly do I contact?

    We got a structural engineer to look at cracks, was very worried but as its a bungelow and not upstairs, he felt no work was needed. Did not cost very much and worth it for peace of mind. I understand that if it had to be done, it was covered by house insurance anyway

    Sun Tunnel

    We have two and they are not great. I think the tunnel has to go in a straight line and not too long. Would not recommend from my experience. I think it depends on where you are putting them.

    Planning Appeal - is it ever just granted

    Thanks for info. Just looked at stats for last two quarters, where there is a third party objection, only in five cases in the last 6 months reported on did they concur completely with the local council. So in other words, neighbours in general get to mess up your plans a little for 220 euro...

    Planning Appeal - is it ever just granted

    Are these standard conditions, my fear was that an Bord were taking something from the plans in each case and never just agreeing with the Council. I gather from your comments (and would really hope) this is not the case. Thanks, Sue

    self employed - pensions tax relief

    I am self employed and am doing my figures for the accountant for 2007. I think that if I put up to 20% of my income into a pension before October tax deadline, it is tax deductable from 2007 income. Is this correct?
