    Can a gazebo be put up in a public park?

    Hi folks, It's my son's birthday in a few weeks. With covid, we are having a small playdate in a public park where he and 3 friends can play football.

    When would you need Mater private or Blackrock?

    These private hospitals I think are the only ones doing cardiac surgery, but with insurance you can still go (semi)private or private in a public hospital.

    About 30k redundancy to invest - dont trust banks

    Hi Sean, you are going through all options I have thought about. We are a tracker 1.5% above ECB - not great but not the worst either. If we put 20K off the mortgage we would save about €100 pm - as per the advise we were given. While I know it is a way of saving money if Mr Bear does not...

    About 30k redundancy to invest - dont trust banks

    Glasnevin or Phibsboro

    Having lived in Phobsborough, and now living in "Glasnevin North". these are both relatively good areas.

    Will I get a mortgage approval?

    Can I ask - what's the rush?????? You're in your late 20's from your posts I can take it you have had spells of unemployment - so therefore you are in a relatively stable period at the moment with both of you working. If I were you I'd focus on paying off loan, and then getting some savings...

    Office Martyrs

    I worked with a guy like that, and to me they are empire builders!!!! They like to be in on everything so it appears as though they are critical to the company. If you look into the work load of these people you very often find that they don't do much other than flap about... P..:)
