    Italian campsite recommendations please

    I booked the Bella Italia for this June last week - I found it best to contact them directly - and yes availablity is very tight; but having spoken to people who have been there before, it seems like a very good deal... despite the fact we had to go for a 6 person apartment even though theirs...

    Bus Strike on Mon/Tues??

    Hi all, I'm finding it hard to establish is there or is there not going to be a bus strike on Monday & Tuesday. Is it going ahead or not? And is it just Dublin Bus, or DB and Bus Eireann? Thanks

    When are funds recognised on my AIB Mastercard?

    I dont really mind the 24hr delay... now that I know its there! I'm just so use to seeing instant movements between different AIB accounts and cash desk fund lodgements that I was surprised!

    Thanks CCOVICH, I booked the second part of my trip a few minutes ago successfully - so it appears to have taken about 24hrs, as you said - thanks again.

    Looking after your own - Offaly Airport

    Looking after your own? Did our fine leader come up with this idea? Back it financially? Give it political favours (so far)? No! So how is it looking after your own? Anyways I think its a great idea but should be moved up a wee bit closer to Moate so we (Westmeath :) ) claim it as our own...

    Wrong forum Unemployment Benefit for graduate

    Hi all, i've a bit of a specific question: If a person were to graduate college (finish final exams) in May this year, and has a contract of employment to start in September, are they entitled to any unemployment benefits for the intervening months in the event that they can't obtain any...

    Are there any websites for just extra-incomejobs, like like leflet delivery things?

    Re: Are there any websites for just extra-incomejobs, like like leflet delivery thing D8Lady, Nixers.com is the exact same as Jobs.ie... I'd second the local papers suggestion, althought to be honest theres not that much legitimate advertised 'income boosting' work out there at the moment

    Help!! Need to change my life!!!

    I personally don't know that much about the rent-to-buy scheme/affordable housing etc., however I think you should consider the following points about your income/outgoings in general: > At present you pay €13.2k a year in rent (€1.1kpm). This is a huge sum. Can it be reduced? Surely you can...

    Cost of living in Dublin v the rest of Ireland

    Recently was discussing this with two friends. Im opting to move down to the country, whilst one is sticking to the Docklands and the other to another Dublin location - we are all going to be doing similar jobs and one friend is being paid about €4k more, whilst the other is being paid €2.5k...

    Are the banks actually giving out money - IN MY CASE

    Sorry Foghorn, you're wrong here. Whilst he has'nt stated this; as part of the OP's 3yr contract, his salary WILL rise this year, next year, and the following year subject to him passing exams. Indeed he might see €10k+ added over the three years. This will happen, there is no argument about it...

    Are the banks actually giving out money - IN MY CASE

    The OP has a current income of 26k, and yes that is very low relative to his new mortgage outgoings, however if he's on a 3yr contract with a Big 4; as long as he passes his exams etc., that salary will jump upwards each of the next 3yrs until he qualifies. Even if they then dont renew his...

    Has anyone completed one of the distance learning courses from Kilroy's college?

    I did an LC Economics distance course with Kilroy College some years ago. My school did'nt offer economics and my principal (a fairly awkward individual) did'nt want anyone doing it in his school. So I enroled in the Kilroy Course purely to force his hand on the matter and let me sit the paper...

    Are you better off in the recession ?

    I'd agree with you on the legal sector. I do think that unlike in the 80's when it was very difficult accross the board, this time it is much more degree specfic when it comes to employment trends. Like I know in a related course (actuary) that employment figures are looking much worse than in...

    Are you better off in the recession ?

    Hmm... im really beginning to like this recession :) Me: > I got a formal job offer doing exactly what I want to do, where I want to do it this week starting in Sept (after college)! The price of the commute (45min) has been reduced significantly due to petrol falling. And the stalling in...
