    Is it a bad idea to withdraw funds from ARF to fund house move.

    We are trying to downsize and have about €260,000 in cash but we are constantly outbid.

    Indeed, my experience with pensions, 65 yr payment and state contributary have been excellent. However i do think they should warn people that the foreign pension will be delayed as some people may be depending on these payments coming in on a certain date.
