@Danmo, the levy is on private pensions whereby the government has effectivly taken a percentage of the pension pot saved. This is not the same as the public pension levy which is a payment towards pension.
If you know the shop, can you call in and ask for the money back from the manager? If it was me I would take the money back any way at this point. In fact, it frustrates me that some shops will only refund the card used to buy the product if necessary to return it.
All very sensible reasons to monitor cyclists; however I believe the first one will never make it in court. What is defined as reasonable consideration? I cycle everyday and I'm not worried; however having gardai at the junctions on the Grand Canal might stop motorists breaking red lights and...
Does the Equal Status Act not cover most of what could be classed as 'conscience' when used in this context? It outlines 9 grounds for discrimination when providing goods and sevices and sexual orientation is one.

A specified purpose contract is a temporary contract which covers a specified piece of work - e.g. 'you are employed for the specified purpose of managing x project'. There is no end date identified on specified purpose contracts as the piece of work is not defined by time but by its...
There must be a back story here - can you fill us in and perhaps we can help? For example, your partner was out of work for 11 days before suspension confirmed. If he did not know, why was he not in work?
Will a bank sell a mpp to anyone simply asking for it? I think with the level of arrears they are very particular about selling this product. Otherwise anyone who was getting into trouble such as being laid off could take one out and their problem could be solved. as such, I'm not sure I...
