I lived on Clanbrassil Terrace for a year about 3 years ago. I thought it was a great location, it so convenient for town and as we weren't right on Clanbrassil st so it was quite enough. A few new shops have opened up in the area too since I was there. We drove to superquinn on Sundrive road...

They have 2 girls aged 6 and 9 who they would like to send to fee paying schools (which all seem to be on the south side) and the reccomendations that they have gotten from their friends in the states is too live southside so that's where they'd like to look. Gnashers

Hi All, I have a client who will be moving to Dublin from the US soon. Their offices will be based in Blanchardstown but they'd like to live on the South side for access to the private primary schools for their kids. They asked me how long I thought it took to get to Blanchardstown via the...

Hi All, I've seen a dress that I really like that I'd like to get made up in a different fabric for myself. Can anyone reccomend a reasonably priced dress maker in Dublin or Limerick? and have you any idea how much it would cost to get a fairly straight foward dress made? Gnashers

I have to second Dr Galvin as a reccomendation, if you're nervous about dentists he has a lovely manner and very gentle hands... but not cheap

I got engaged recently and we got plenty of cards and a few small presents and a couple of bottles of bubbly. We didn't expect anything at all and I don't think most couples would expect anything. It is very nice to get all the cards though.

the EU has a common trade area so you won't pay customs on any goods that you bring into Ireland from anywhere in the EU, whereas customs may have to be paid on goods imported from outside the EU (eg the US) As far as I remember (but I'm open to correction), if you are buying goods from another...

Just to note that civil marriages do exist in ireland at the moment. All registary office marriages are civil rather than religous ceremonies, Gnashers

My Cousin had a similar wedding a couple of weeks ago. They had a small service at about 4.00 with just immediate family (about 12 in all) and then they went to the Merrion for dinner. They had a small gathering later on, at 9.00 the rest of us (about 30) joined them in the Cellar bar for drinks...

If you go to Chamonix you could bring the kids to the 'Luge D'ete' - it's a dry toboggan run. Although I've just realised that it's almost 20 years since I was there so it might not be around anymore!

A friend of mine organised a hen recently - They had dinner in Odessa (plenty of cocktails) spent an hour or so in the pool hall on Camden st and then headed to the Gaiety to dance the night away (there's a selection of DH's and bands there) not too out of the ordainary but they really enjoyed...

I was in Rome last week and we used this site http://www.cross-pollinate.com/ to book a little appartment near the spanish steps, I think it was on Via Frattina. The appartment was nice and you can't beat the location

The tate modern do 'paint it youself' kits [broken link removed] - they might give you some inspiration.I think Habitat might do the same. If you're looking for flat colour designs maybe get some wallpaper samples. somewhere like this might give you some good ideas...

I went around the red cow recently from a different approach (coming off the M50 north bound to head into town). It all looks a bit of a mess but it was all well signposted so if you're nervous just take your time and stick with the sign posts. alternatively you could take the outer orbital...

I wouldn't see not having a PPS number yet as grounds for suspicion. As far as I know you need some proof of address to be able to get a PPS number, this may be why they are looking for it.

I'm with 3 and I've had some difficulty texting friends of mine that are abroad. They haven't signed texting agreements with some overseas Networks so I have friends in the UK, Spain and the US that just can't text. Also if an Irish person goes abroad and I text them they ocassionaly recieve...

you can find information about import duties to the EU on the TARIC website. . It can take a while to find what you're looking for, but I've also found the revenue/customs people in Nenagh to be helpful in the past. Gnashers

Enterprise Ireland run a 'mentor network programme'. I'm not sure who is eligible to participate but there's more information here. it might be worth giving them a call.

You should also check out an earlier thread about Dundrum voucher cards, These cards had monthly/ quarterly charges on them which reduced the value of the card over time. They might have changed that since then, or the shop might do their own vouchers.
