    Solicitor/Barrister didn't show up at court

    Thanks for the feedback. I checked the letter last night and sure enough it said the balance had to be discharged before the hearing. Bf should have sorted it out. I do feel that solicitor should have rang him to let him know last week when he had received the balance, its a poor way to do...

    Ikea - Dublin

    I agree with rosey, I think the quality is good. With most furniture items they have cheap, mid range and expensive items. I purchased bedroom dresser and lockers 18months ago from Belfast and they still look great, are very solid and I was able to put them together myself. Definetly worth the...

    How to arrange finances to take unpaid maternity leave

    Thanks for the replies. I guess we are reluctant to sell the apartment as it belongs to my bf and the house is mine. I think we need to sit down and discuss it. With the clawback though i don't think we'd make anything from it, but at least it wouldn't be costing anything either! I realise the...

    Party Venue?

    O'Dywers on Mount Street (howl @ the moon) is a great venue for parties. They will reserve an area for you and food is fine. Having the function in the pub means you can use their music and also atmosphere tends to be good from the start. Not sure if they have a function room, although you can...
