Hi there, I too am applying for a mortgage but to be honest I'm very confused as to which bank offers the best deals. Am I right in saying that eg AIB may be best now then in 6 months it could be PTSB,then 6 months after that it could be BoI...ie the best in the market is very variable. 2nd...

Hi there, I was wondering what are people's opinions re using Mortgage brokers? My wife & I are looking to get mortgage approval to help us trade up as our family is about to expand in the new year. I was originally going to see AIB, KBC & Ulster bank & negotiate ourselves. However I'm having...

Interesting argument,unquestionably without doubt ALL drugs should be legalised.There are so many arguments to support this,it's hard to know where to begin.I'll just mention a few. Money spent on trying to enforce drug laws is a waste of money simply because,the law is clearly...

Er just a few points(agree with most of what's been said) Dunphy is a pain in the.....,he loves a cause & Andy Reid for him fits the bill.This is despite the fact that he is overweight,there are alleged rumours re drinking & he is not even a regular at Sunderland(I'm not aware of him having...

Er last Pope progressive? are u having a laugh?.He "anointed"/let it be known that the rottweiller was his choice to succeed him as he was of a similar ideological persuasion,ie anything but progressive. Current "infallible" incites hatred re homosexuality,Islam etc-I wouldn't p*ss on him if he...

Hi there, I'm in abit of a similar position.Im lucky to have a bit of spare cash at the moment & I'm in 2 minds re whether I should reduce my mortgage(tracker 0.95% +ECB rate) or should invest in a safe bank account with limited access but a relatively high interest rate.My brother has advised...

I'm flabbergasted! I would suggest that she return to the GP & confirm that she was charged the correct amount.If so,the Medical Council would be very interested to hear of this.

Hi Mac 36, I work in the same area & your friend has been screwed & that GP should be reported.However I find it nearly impossible to believe that he/she was charged this much.If true,it should be reported!

Hi there, I'm looking for a bit of advice. I'll be in a position before the end of the year to pay a bit extra off the mortgage.However I'm thinking about taking out a bigger mortgage in acouple of years. My q is,should I hold onto my money now to fund a deposit in a couple of years,because I'm...

Pint,irish times in quiet pub on Fri after work & nobody wanting to talk to me,except the barman

Thanks for the advice-yeah staying Donnybrook overnight.Didn't realise Sydney Parade was nearest station thanks for that.

I travelled around the beaches with my father 6 yrs ago,but I've been 2 Normandy twice since the start of the year. I'd recommend either getting a ferry from Ringaskiddy,Cork to Roscoff & then travelling over to Normandy(seeing Mt Saint Michel & St Malo on the way or flying to Charles de Gaulle...

Have to emphasise last post!-releasing equity from home in Ireland in order to subsidise a far-flung folly would be a very,very unwise thing to do.

Hmmm,as mentioned above,worst house in best location is good advice.However,while B'town is fine with its traffic problems,Turners X would be preferable to me,spitting distance of city centre & lots of character.Also the city is "migrating" east with the development of the docklands,which will...
