    Bord Gais Theatre Dublin - good seats - ballet

    if you have the opportunity, call into the box office at the BGE. I dealt with a very helpful person there who was able to explain the best seats, including moving one row back to avail of cheaper tickets without impacting the view. It also saves the big fees charged by ticketmaster.

    Helpling (website for cleaners) - Any experience?

    I also found that they would agree to your requested day/time and then after a few weeks they are no longer available and ask to change. This actually happened me with 3 different people (as I needed it be a certain day, and I had to change a new person rather than a different day). After the...

    Gift of money to parent

    citizens information also says "The first €3,000 of the total value of all gifts received from one person in any calendar year is exempt." and if you have a partner, they can also gift 3K in a year tax free. Unless you are talking big sums, this might be enough?

    On 30k, single, how does one buy a house?

    OP do you mean 30k and 40k gross? which is closer to 25k and 30k net. Also what age are you? (this might affect the responses) I agree though, that the only strategy is to save like crazy, and keep the long term goal in mind. I'd avoid buying with another single person too (but you may find...

    charge for online payment?

    @demoivre - Paypal (or one of the others) do charge, and that is passed on to the buyer - different rates are negotiated by different businesses. I did try to find the cost online, but no surprise that it is not at all transparent. If your point is that it probably isnt a rate of 12.5%, that's...

    Autumn Evening / Night Courses and Tennis for Beginners

    Stepaside seems far from D15 There is a LTC in Castleknock but their website is not very informative: https://www.cltc.ie/ and there's one in Phibsboro if that was suitable [broken link removed] I also found this which may be of use: http://www.meetup.com/Tennis-Dublin/

    charge for online payment?

    my kids school is the same most businesses factor this into the selling cost (so they just charge you 11.25 instead of 10) as this is what paypal, stripe, braintree etc charge to the business for processing the transaction I can see why schools have gone online, as cash handling is...

    Redundancy 2 weeks before 2 years service

    agree with daddyman. how much notice is required? if it's 2 weeks+ he will be entitled. If not, you're probably out of luck. I'm surprised how many times I've heard a similar story of people being let go just before statutory redundancy kicks in recently (3 people in the last couple of weeks -...

    Parking in the law society blackhall place

    The ParkRite multistorey nearby (backing onto Smithfield) does a student daily parking rate as far as I remember. If he can avail of that it might be a good option? I agree with @SBarrett that the on-street parking is limited and would be expensive for full days

    Bags for waste in Brown bins

    This is a not a requirement of Panda, who I am with. I do use Obeo bags (as seen on dragons den), but thats purely for my own benefit. With black bin waste, I've seen special bags, and the bins - but never both. It doesnt seem like good value to me. Have you a breakdown of charges?

    Glenbeigh Road, Cabra

    I'm very familiar with it - though I wouldnt say it was in Cabra as such ;) It's an older road, with biggish houses and good size gardens - but with the maintenance of an older, bigger houses too. Mostly older families too, and you dont see a lot of children. It gets quite a bit of cross...

    Am I liable (one parent family payment question)

    I dont think they will buy your story that you were unaware at the time. Maybe that's a risk you are willing to take to now do the right thing. What are you hoping will happen, best case?

    What is the minimum gain to switch mortgage

    great summary qwerty5 For me it's not just the 10s of hours (and I certainly dont have anything like that level of "free time"), it's also the 20+ steps that are needed. It's daunting and mistakes are made and steps have to be repeated. Also most people dont know how much it could save them so...

    Am I liable (one parent family payment question)

    i do not advocate social welfare fraud - but i really question your motives after 10 years you want to confess to helping your ex with fraud, but only if she is on the hook for the money and not you?

    Primary Teaching as a late vocation

    I agree with Muinteoir - as well as concentrating on Irish, I think you should look to volunteer in a more 'classroom' type setting (coaching sport is not exactly the same). If not nala, would you consider mentoring at the CoderDojo? It's coding classes for kids, and they happen all over the...

    College Fund for two children - 120K??

    @elainem Sorry to take the thread off-topic a little (and well done for your forward planning!) It's the best scores from 6 Leaving Cert subjects that are used to calculate points, as your points can only be calculated from one sitting - so I'm assuming Irish and Maths are being done to satisfy...
