Hopefully things will all work out for your mother and she'll get good support at home. I know how difficult these situations are from personal experience from both sides of the fence. Best of luck.

Clohass, whilst I fully understand your concerns and whilst I agree with the advice everybody else has given, it is important to point out that that if your mother is fully compus mentis then she has the right to self-determination ie she can make her own decisions about her future. If she is...

Did you actually make the trips that you are being charged for? I only ask because I've been charged umpteen times for the same trip (which was paid in advance). After several threatening letters from them and a phone call from me to tell them to take me to court (I had the receipts), I soon...

Hi Sumatra, I drive a 2CV Charleston (1983) rebuilt and as good as new. It is my sole car and it's used everyday. Charleston's came in Black/Maroon, Dark Grey/Light Grey and Yellow/Black versions. I have my own coulourscheme on the Charleston pattern. I've had my 2CV for 2 years. I...

Re: Can a company just unilaterally change working terms and conditions for employees Or work in the public sector, where exactly this scenario is playing out.

Europhile, As far as I understand it, you worked Monday to Friday as normal, then Sat & Sun as overtime for which you got time in lieu at double time. If that's correct, then you can take a rest day during the following week but rest days are not paid. Therefore, if you want to be paid for the...

Thanks Meathman, there's a Chadwicks in Athlone I think, I'll give them a ring tomorrow.

I'm the opposite to Mpsox, we have to come in on days to get training. These days would be our 'rest' days, so we come in over and above our shifts.

Thanks, will look at Buy and Sell, trouble is transporting them to Tullamore in a Citroen 2CV!

I need about 9 scaffold planks to make some raised beds in the garden. Obviously, condition isn't that important as they are only going in the garden. Does anybody know where I might get some? I've tried contacting some local scaffolding firms - no luck. I'm in Tullamore by the way.

...Or you could try using paint pads (available in most of the big chains). Very quick, clean and cheap (about €8-10 per set). Since I discovered these about 20 years ago I've never used anything else.

My car is an 83, so 26 years old. 2 more NCTs to endure yet I'm afraid.

I drive a Citroen 2CV which failed its NCT because the chassis didn't have the chassis number die stamped onto it. Trouble is 2CVs were not manufactured with the die stamp, it only has a plate above the engine (and yes a 2CV does have an engine!) Took me about 2 weeks to get that clarified...

Now is the right time to pick sloes, they are best after the first frost. However, I'm in the midlands and there are no sloes to be found this year. Even the hedges around our garden, which are usually loaded, are barren this year. Got some in England last week (enough for the sloe gin) but...

Thanks Cibby, He is getting grinds privately at home but absolutely refuses to return to school. Years of extreme struggle for him just to get a low average has finally broken him. We feel so sorry for him and just need to support him as best we can. He is also seeing a psychotherapist to help...

Thanks for that Brian. I was told that by somebody I rang as well. I will ask at the school to see if they can accommodate.

Thanks Mimmi, we'll look into that. If that doesn't work out, we'll go with Sandrat's suggestion, if we can pursuade him to set foot in school again! Thanks for the help.

Thanks Shesells, Sure, we could head to Newry (but we are not in Dundalk). If all he has to do is sit the exam, then that's fine. It would be a problem if he has to attend regularly for coursework etc as it would be an 8 hour round trip. Somewhere local would be ideal but we'll head North as...

Looking for a bit of help here. My son needs GCSE English Language (or equivalent) for his chosen career in UK. He failed English in his Junior Cert due to not having read the instructions and not having answered enough questions, otherwise he is strong at English. He was due to sit the...

Hi, You need to contact the pensions dept in your hospital. They will calculate the amount it will cost to buy back the missing time. You then have the choice to pay it in one go or to have it deducted from salary over a period of years. Cornmarket only deal with the AVCs, the HSE deal with...
