    Individual PRSA contributions when not working?

    I have an individual PRSA account with New Ireland that I stopped contributing into when I stopped working to look after my children. My husband earns enough to pay the higher tax rate. Can we (1) still keep contributing to it as the funds would technically come from his salary and (2) claim...

    Are you looking for the names and addresses of the directors of the OMC or all the owners/shareholders? If the latter and there's only 10 apartments (approx??) can you not knock on the doors?

    Second direct debit late

    As per subject line, I signed up for the direct debit option to pay the household charge. The first one was taken middle of March basically on the expected day from my AIB current account. I noted the second one should be taken on 14th May but just checked there and nothing has been taken yet...

    Registered Post - should it be signed by the recipient

    I reckon An Post (and all postal services worldwide) are stuck between a rock and a hard place here. If they leave a notice then people will complain about the hassle of having to go to the depot to pick up it saying "sure it was only <something of little value>" and if they leave it with a...

    civil wedding registrars

    If you're looking for a HSE employee remember that they're civil servants and only work Monday - Friday! Other people (priests, humanist celebrants etc etc) might work on Saturdays, it's up to the individual then.

    iTunes "Full"

    FYI if you're downloading iTunes purchases and your disk is full, once you've cleared some space they won't automatically redownload. You have to "Report a problem" for each song/album and they will requeue them for you after a few hours. Voice of experience here :p

    Aptmnt block with high level of non payment of mgt fees: impact of property tax?

    I know it's not finalised yet but there was something in the proposal of properties paying someone to be assessed. So surely in a managed development the assessments would be organised by the management company, not individual owners, and the assessor (engineer? architect? surveyor?) could be...

    Someone in Ireland calling a Irish mobile that happens to be in the UK will hear a slightly different ringtone, hence my comment.

    costs of maternity leave/giving birth

    Go public! The costs of going semi-private (or private) without insurance are impossible to calculate beforehand. You could have a straightforward birth and be out in a day and a half, or need a c-section and five nights of accommodation which will not be cheap as every single thing will add up...

    PRSA contributions when not working?

    Liam, Many thanks for your reply. Would the tax relief be applied retrospectively? Another idea I had was to suspend the PRSA and put the contributions into a high interest, relatively inaccessible deposit account then lodge the lump sum to the PRSA when I start working again. Would that work...

    PRSA contributions when not working?

    Currently I have a full-time job and contribute to a PRSA but am planning to take probably a few years off soon while my children are young. Can my husband continue contributions into my PRSA during this time? Any thing I've read on it relates to my salary (max contributions etc) which I...

    Management Fees - % of Defaulters

    Legal sanctions can also result in debtors being brought to court as well. Another one to add to the list is removal of services - window cleaning (probably more hassle to arrange than it's worth), parking permits, any access codes/keys etc can be withheld. Also similar to the Bar on resale, but...

    Excesses on Block Policies

    In the management company I'm a director of, the best quote we could get this year meant we had to have a 5K excess up from 1K, and this cost us 80% more than last year with a different company! Last year's company wanted to triple the premium!! We've had a few claims but no insurance company...

    Urgent Ryanair Baggage Help!

    You can go back to the website and add a bag at any time before the flight (probably up to four hours beforehand, but if last minute then reprint your boarding cards!!), it's under manage my booking or something like that. You pay what you would have if you'd done it when booking. Definitely the...

    Ipod Music download sites??

    You can import mp3s from any other source (other music website, ripped from CD, "friends" ;)) into iTunes to transfer to your iPod, you're not restricted to buying everything from the iTunes store. The menu options (from memory!) are File\Add folder to library (for whole albums) or File\Add...
