    Cork City hotels early check in?

    you will find that most hotels nowadays in cork or anywhere else will let you check in early without any prior arranging. I have found that if you arrive say at 12 midday, they will let you leave your baggage if there is to be a delay but rarely will you find they cannot give you a room...

    Revenue to target pensioners on higher incomes

    What could revenue have done differently you ask? Just one thing, would have saved all the upset for so many people who had no tax issues. Put an information notice in newspapers and TV to warn pensioners of the letter. Then send the letter. What is not fully understood by a lot of...

My main complaint is that out of the blue on 5 January 2012 elderly people like my 85 year old, widowed, mum in law got a letter implying she dishonestly withheld information from revenue. She gets state widows...

    Australian Dollar Bank Account

    This is my first time, to look for advice. I see that you are recommending moneymate for transferring money, is this a reputable company ? I am sorry if this seems like an odd question but I am a complete novice. I want to transfer euro to sterling, for the same reasons as these posters.
