    Swedish house mafia

    I've created a couple of online maps whereby I'm trying to crowdsource information on peoples experience of the 3 concerts in the Phoenix Park, specifically in relation to the general atmosphere and how people exited the park after the concert. Simply click on the appropriate concert on the...

    Have an affordable property, but buying a New House ??

    +1. It seems people are under the illusion they can't just sell up. The clawback only applies on a gain in the property gain - of which there is now none.

    Have an affordable property, but buying a New House ??

    Your thread is nearly a year old. That would seem to answer your question. As my mother would say - you can, but you may not. You've not said why you want to hold onto the AH property. I can only assume for financial gain down the road. How's the strategy working out? Your reasons for buying a...

    County Councils risky investments

    This is the basis on which the DDDA made it's investment in the Glass Bottle site. It's also the basis on which a lot of the Social and Affordable housing schemes were organized. You are right public bodies aren't good at making commercial decisions. What they are good at is providing services...

    NPPR on apartment I just took ownership of?

    It would not be possible to sell the property if there was an outstanding charge against it. If the contracts have been exchanged and there is a charge outstanding then someone's solicitor will be picking up the bill, not you.

    They won't. They'll find it comical. Or at least the 15% or so who voted for him. Such is a PR system. You just need to appeal to a big enough minority to get elected. The more everyone else says something bad about you the more a certain percentage of people will support you.

    Section 23 Management Company Losses

    Why would you believe this? What does your accountant say? Have you gone through the annual statement of the management company? Where is the money gong? S23 and any Management Company are 2 completely separate things. You may very well be liable for any shortfall which the management company...

    Affordable Housing Scheme = fail Home Choice Loans = fail NAMA finance = fail.

    Disasters in Japan

    Gonna have to dispute the veracity of that report. One of the ads on the same page states "How to cure any Cancer at home for $5.15 a day". Does not engender confidence.

    A free website for passing on unwanted stuff to new owners for free

    I may not be making myself clear. I don't care if that this is a good site. I don't care that Users have saved money and resources by using it. They would have made the exact same savings by using pre-existing services. I don't think Govt agencies should be spending any money duplicating...

    Warranty expired - consumer rights

    Ok, searching through old questions on the matter brings me to http://www.consumerconnect.ie/eng/Hot_Topics/Guides-to-Consumer-Law/Shopping/intro.html So to my eyes the expired warranty is simply an issue between the shop and the manufacturer. The shop is under an obligation to...

    Warranty expired - consumer rights

    Short story even shorter - printer has a hardware problem which only becomes apparent after 14 months. Warranty expired after 12 months. Retailer is refusing to repair or replace the unit. What rights do you have as a consumer once the warranty period has expired?

    A free website for passing on unwanted stuff to new owners for free

    I think you may be underestimating the effort involved somewhat. I've no problem with RPS doing the work. To my eyes it's not hidden or obfuscated that they are involved. I would not expect this sort of web development to be done in-house in any Govt agency. I just don't think it should be done...
