That was one of many, many issues. Even if he had published his source, how can you verify that the published source is the version running on the machines? And how do you verify the source code for the MS Access database on which the count system was based? And the source code for the Windows...

There isn't anything that covers this particular scenario, where the employer pays for the overnight accommodation directly.

This is untrue. If a child runs out in front of you, are you going to check your mirrors to see who's coming behind or are you going to slam on the brakes. There are similar situations for cyclists. If you find yourself coming up on a pothole on a dark road, you may need to swerve. If you find...

Formal research carried out in London in the not too distant past confirms this; http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2009/dec/15/cycling-bike-accidents-study We all see cyclists breaking red lights of course. In some enlightened places like Paris, this has been legalised for right turns -...

For a start, let's move away from the "Why not e-voting" - let's ask "why evoting"? Why would we want to risk a huge investment in an IT service for unquantifiable benefits. What actual benefit would arise? If the main benefit is 'allow Jim to keep his vote in the family home and vote from...

Not true - some companies (123.ie, FBD) will allow a named driver to do occasional business mileage.

How's that exam/licence/proficiency working out in terms of keeping our roads safe from motorists, given the hundreds of people killed and maimed on the road by motorists each year? Just wondering if perhaps we should look for a successful model to copy, instead of a failed model? You seem to...

Not necessarily true. If your current status meets the definition of 'disability' under the Employment Equality Acts, you have a legal entitlement to any 'reasonable accommodation' required arising from your disability. The law is not explicit about what accomodations are reasonable, as it would...

Not really. The public service / Revenue approved rates are based around a 5-hour absence, a 10-hour absence or a 24-hour absence. The 24-hour absence includes accomodation, so there is no rate for 24-hour absence where accommodation has already been paid for. OP - did you ever get an answer to...

Fair enough, I was just responding to what you suggesting. I'm not clear what exactly you mean by marketing. Maybe if you give more detail on the specifics of the work to be done, you might get better suggestions.

Are you sure you need another person? What about a website with Frequently Asked Questions? Or a YouTube channel with a couple of video case studies? There may be other ways to have the pre-sales questions answered, though you have to be careful about holding prospective customers at arm's length.

Slight clarification - You will be eligible for Unemployment Benefit for 9 months while you are searching for other work, that is currently €188 per week after that you will have to apply for the means tested Unemployable Allowance..

I did get a warning letter from somebody (Danske or Pepper) about the online services shutting down, and I had warning messages in the app in the weeks coming up to the shutdown date.

Of course. Silly me. I'm not being disrespectful, but it absolutely is anecdotal, until you can provide further details. What is the back story? There could be any number of reasons for problems in DB schemes, including underfunding, or a high-risk investment strategy that didn't pay off, or...

What is a 'DB'? Is there any chance that we could get something more concrete to base the analysis on, given that the published industry return figures are so completely different to your anecdotal experience? Could you point me to the text of this guarantee please? Yes, we agree that there is...

With due respect, who decides what is relevant? Is there some economic convention or analytic convention that sets out what is relevant what is not? If so, was this same convention applied when coming up with the €100b future cost of public sector pensions? If we apply a fairly modest 4% return...

It sounds like you've decided that the one and only solution to this issue is for the State to walk away from the contractual entitlements of public sector staff. It would be interesting to see the analysis behind this. What other options were considered? What will be the impact on making the...

Seems like a bigger issue than just websites - what about ownership of any other IP produced by the partnership?

Many multi-national companies offer share purchase schemes that allow you to buy shares out of pre-tax salary, once you hold the shares for 3 years. This provides a discount of much more than 15%, and is often a no-brainer, if your companies shares are reasonably stable.

Thanks for your measured response. It would important that ALL pension benefits, including tax relief is on the table for any review of pensions. I suspect that some people would like to see a review of 'all pension benefits that apply to other people but not me'. Such reviews aren't a great...
