    Short-term IT contracting

    No agency will deal with you as a sole trader - you will have to either go Ltd or use an umbrella like cxc in your case umbrella is best option. What's your skillset ? I always find summer a very quiet time contracting due to decision makers being on holiday.

    Prices of taxis to Dublin airport

    Ridiculous prices on some of those fares - Malahide to Airport (9km on Google Maps) is same price (€30) as Leopardstown (23km from Racecourse via City centre on Google Maps) to Airport. Wow ! As a comparison - I used Hailo last week (Swords - Clontarf 15.3km on Meter) = €21.50 (2 pax)

    motorbike in apartments

    I'd suggest that if the bike hasn't been completely drained of all fluids etc that you are breaching yours and the block insurance terms also.

    Banning smoking tobacco in cars with kids.

    It's pretty big - same way as Mobile Phone use while driving is huge. Main reason I notice it so much is that I commute on a motorbike and have the opportunity to overtake lots of cars daily - unbelievable what people do while driving.

    Banning smoking tobacco in cars with kids.

    This whole Nanny State thing is a bit over the top isn't it ? Can people not see that these parents are making a conscious decision to damage their children's long term health ? They obviously aren't intelligent enough to see that as a problem, so I say fair play to the State in attempting to...

    Architect fees query

    Do architects and other professionals still get to charge on a % basis ? Is there any reason they can't provide a fixed fee quote - that way you know what they're going to deliver and how much it will cost you at the outset without having to take additional fees into account when you're pricing...

    Northernmost DART station park and ride

    Malahide will take you at least 15 minutes from M1 - rush hour, schools and then you have to park in DART Car park. Airside will take about 5 mins from M1 (even though you pass within 1 minute of it - the off ramps don't allow for direct access approaching from or going North). Easiest way...
