    Thanks for the responses. We're charged an overall management fee, the per-unit breakdown was just for comparison purposes.

    Management Agent fees - going rates

    Just looking for some feedback from any Management Company directors (I'm one myself) for current going rates for Management Agent fees. We're currently paying circa €200 per apartment to the management agent. It's hard to gauge what the market rate is without engaging directly with other...

    what a cheek by Alan Shatter- use your own money.

    For a charitable donation. Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought there was tax relief on those? Maybe someone who knows can clarify it.

    what a cheek by Alan Shatter- use your own money.

    Jack & Jill do great work so the money is going to a very worthy cause and I expect it will go far in providing much needed assistance to those who really need it. They'll probably spend it better and more efficiently that the government do too. The tax payer is at no real loss in that sense...

    What's the point of Monday public holidays?

    That I can understand. However, this is more down to the inflexibility of your partner's employer and lots of people still work on public holidays. To me, public holidays just seem to be a bit of an anachronism and the time given over to them could be better utilised by the majority of people if...

    What's the point of Monday public holidays?

    From Wikipedia: "A bank holiday is a public holiday in the United Kingdom, Commonwealth countries, other European countries such as Switzerland, and a colloquialism for a public holiday in Ireland" P.S. Given your username, The Banker, I thought you would have already known this ;-)

    What's the point of Monday public holidays?

    Over the May weekend I was thinking what's the point of Monday public holidays, how much of a benefit are they? They're just like another Sunday, most shops, etc. are still open, public transport operates on a Sunday schedule, some people are off and some are still working. I'd much prefer to...

    Ireland's most successful sports achiever

    It's hard enough comparing people within the same sport from different eras let alone different sports. Then you have people who compete in individual sports versus those in team sports. Also, horses don't count. I'll probably get castigated for this but I think we take sport far too...

    Greece no longer in the news

    One of their teams had a great win in the Champions League during the week - it's not all doom and gloom in Greece :-P

    New Ad for Guinness:

    The Batman said something similar in Batman Begins: "It's not who I am underneath... but what I *do*... that defines me." #inspirational

    Drink driving permit in Kerry

    All kinds of rubbish gets reported on both the national and international news media these days. We're no more or less a laughing stock than any other country in the world. While rural isolation is an real issue for many people this is just a cheap publicity stunt and will be forgotten about...

    Speed Trap, Caught Again

    Think I might have got caught there too roker on the same morning, was doing about 73kph when I spotted the camera van and I was probably one of the slower drivers on that stretch at the time! It's hard to keep to 60kph there, it just seems inappropriately slow, especially heading east from...

    Replacement car window not same tint as other windows

    I had to get a driver door's window replaced recently and have noticed that the new window is not as tinted as the other doors's windows. I notice it but I doubt anyone else would unless I told them. It's only a small thing but it's bothering me as the car is new enough. The garage are hardly...

    Good Luck Rory McIlroy

    Yeah, it's a great start again for him. I hope he does it. The talent is there no doubt. If he can get one major under his belt he could take off from there. Great days for Irish golf!

    The death of Dr Garrett Fitzgerald -RIP

    I think so, I thought he sold the family home to pay off the bank debt he owed after buying GPA stock, the remainder was then written off. Wasn't that the conclusion of the tribunal, that he attempted and did pay off as much as he could at the time.

    President Obama.

    I have to admit the guy knows how to work a crowd. He is one cool dude. Not that it's going to make much of a difference to our very real problems but the last week has at least put us in a good light both at home and abroad for a change. I'm sure normal service will be resumed shortly :-(
