    Can I use 1 adult leap card to pay for a number of people( including children) on the bus

    Yes you can if you go to the driver with it, you tell the driver what you're paying for, place your leap card on the reader in front of the driver and he'll issue tickets for everyone. However, it might take a bit of time. There are also other options you could consider such as: Leap visitor...

    Adjustment Disorder post RTA.

    The vast majority of claims never end up with a hearing before a court (less than 2% of all claims). PIAB have requested this additional medical expertise to ensure they make the most accurate assessment possible. The majority of claims that leave the PIAB system and proceed to litigation are...

    Household claim worthwhile for an exploding cooker door?

    I think this thread and numerous other ones I've seen on AAM over the years point to the confusion that can arise regarding consumer rights and what consumers think their rights are. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the legislation in this area was updated and consolidated last year, but I...

    Consumer legislation changed in 2022 with the enactment of the Consumer Rights Act 2022, before that it was a mishmash of legislation including the Consumer Protection Act 2007 and a range of Acts introduced thanks to the EU including the Liability for Defective Products Act 1991. Timeframes...

    Getting rid of old paint cans,with contents.

    Disposing of old paint cans is definitely a pain. Did a shed clear out a few years ago and dropped a load of cans to the Estuary Recycling center in Swords - think it was similar to newirishman where I paid for the car. But came across this crowd on tv a few weeks back...

    Pre-Teens Bank Account

    Another parent who recommends Revolut. For a number of reasons. Two in particular are the ability for a parent to set challenges ie clean the car and I'll pay you etc.. and secondly the ability for my kids to create "savings" for themselves. They can set a goal for themselves and move money into...

    Separation/Divorce... when mediation fails

    I second Thirsty's suggestion, if you don't already have a counsellor get one! I would strongly argue its the best investment you can make right now even if you feel you don't have the money. Like others on this thread, I've been through the system and I will tell you that whatever ideal...

    Getting advice together Pre Solicitors

    I second seriously considering mediation. But you need to be clear on what mediation offers. A mediator does not offer their opinion on a possible solution rather their role is to assist both sides to look at everything and decide between the two the best possible outcome. So if both parties...

    2nd hand children's items: want to donate to charity

    Have to say I disagree, I'm on local facebook group and I'm constantly amazed at the stuff people put up and equally what gets taken. Baby and kids stuff in particular (and especially the things OP has listed) fly out. Its a little bit of work to photograph and manage but worth it. Its my go to...

    Paying customs on product from a company with a .ie address!

    I have used espares.ie recently and had checked their delivery terms very careful as I was aware they are a UK company. The following clearly details that they include Irish vat on their prices. My delivery arrived with no additional customs charge. I would also note that Buy-spares.ie also...

    Criminal Justice Act 2021 question re loan payoff

    Irish legislation is not always the easiest to read as in most cases "new" acts such as this one are modifying existing Acts. In this case the Criminal Justice (Money laundering and Terrorist) Financing Act 2010. If you really want to read it, the best place to that is here and more...

    Family home - buying out spouse due to separation/divorce

    As RedOnion says tell the solicitor you're looking for conveyancing following a separation. Very straight forward assuming the separation is complete. Solicitor will guide you. But for me it was a initial meeting to give copies of relevant documents, including separation agreement and then...

    Solicitor to contest a will

    Not an easy road to go down. I had reason in the past (more than 10 years ago) to seek advice regarding a will and possible trust, like you wanted to find someone who was an expert in the field and was recommended the following firm (can't even remember by who at this point) [broken link...

    Ex on holiday leaving son with friend

    I think this is where two things might be useful for you 1. take a really deep breath and 2. try and consider this from your son's point of view. In an ideal world - wouldn't it be great if we lived in one of those - your son's mother would have discussed this with you and between you both a...

    Can a child sue others child’s parent for assault by their little darling?

    Well done for pushing on this, but my heart breaks with this line. As a parent I'm hoping I help my kids to be the best people they can be, enjoy great experiences and learn from the bad. Its soul destroying when it feels like something outside of your control tears all that down. While my...
