I have several different fx "accounts" setup on my Revolut app - but mainly just use Euro (main currency) and Sterling. If there's a currency move I deem good enough, I might transfer funds. For example, if a No Deal Brexit threat means Sterling plummets, I usually transfer some euros into...

I know, I wouldn't do it, but it seems sloppy to me to allow it without any checks, or not to 'disable' VAT numbers once companies are dissolved.

So if someone had a (single employee) limited company 15 years ago as a contractor, but then went PAYE, technically they could, say, buy stuff off Amazon VAT free?

I used the Smithfield clinic (an offshoot of the Mater A&E, I believe) recently and was in and out in 20 minutes after stitches and an x-ray. Total cost was zero - I'd gone to a GP first, for €50, and was referred. Was extremely impressed with Smithfield.

I fell off the bike recently and cut my finger badly. I knew it would need stitches, but I was also aware that a GP referral to A&E was more cost effective so I went to a nearby clinic (Dublin city centre) where the doctor thought it would also need an X-Ray. She referred me to a clinic in...

Probably a stupid question, but do you have to put a stamp on the pre-paid envelope, ie is it valid for posting from Ireland? I can't get definitive information online, the Royal Mail website implies that prepaid post for Ireland has to be in a different format, like the usual FREEPOST envelopes...

Note that that one is a "Refurb". Nothing wrong with that, per se, but the usual price of that model is closer to £200.

I know it's slightly over your budget, but Power City had the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" recently for €150, it's a perfect size, especially to double as an e-reader with the Kindle app installed. Quality name, quality product. Probably the same model as the Littlwoods one referred to above. I...

Only 6 senators (10%) are 'democratically elected' (if you want to call it that) by Trinity and NUIM, although I have to say that it is this element that sticks in my craw most about the Seanad. I went to university too and do not have a vote, but I don't think I am any better than someone who...

Similar thing happened recently on my Opel Zafira. Over the course of two or three days, it got steadily worse. Mechanic thought it might be a dirty carburettor, but in the end it needed a replacement 'engine membrane' (whatever that is!), which stopped it happening - so far, anyway. The part...

I don't suppose it'd be practical to move the tv to the attic to connect directly to the aerial, to narrow down cable issues like potnoodler has suggested?

All landline calls to and from Anglo offices were taped as a matter of course. I'm sure there's a lot more where they came from. Not sure how the Indo got their hands on them though - perhaps an insider as sick as we are of no inquiry to date

Don't buy one that says "anti-perspirant". The 'residue' is the anti-perspirant element. Just get one that says "deodorant".

There is a huge demand for developers at the moment, just look for a new job in the area that interests you. Don't hand in your notice until you get a new job. If you're any good you should be able to land a new job in a couople of weeks.

I have a similar problem and I had been trying to figure out where the wind was getting in. It seems to me to be down to the air vents. Taking off the inside vents, in the older part of the house, these vents have a plastic insert, like a pipe, that allows the air to pass from outside to...

Or, in Settings\Accounts and Import, click the "Make Default" link beside the email address you want emails to be sent from. You can change these for individual emails if you wish by selecting the source email address from the dropdown list. Note that if you use the gmail servers to send...

Readers Digest have just filed for bankruptcy so I wouldn't be taking out a subscription with them anytime soon...

I have a smart tv but never use any of the 'smartness'. I think I've used RTE Player on it once in about 14 months. Having said that, it doesn't support Netflix - if it did, it'd get a lot more use. Note that the games consoles also support Netflix, so if you have a Wii, XBox of Playstation they...

It's not just the childrens' hospitals - they can have ops/procedures etc in other places, eg Blackrock Clinic, the Beacon etc

You could use the Google Reader app and subscribe to multiple feeds (news or not) - BBC, RTE, Sky News, Irish Independent, the Herald etc etc... The feeds can be setup in 'folders' and you can pick a folder - e.g. "News" to be the default folder for the Reader widget on your home screen - the...
