I agree those two terms are contradictory. The way I interpret it is that if you intend to lodge €500 each month, your initial cash / cheque should be €500 too. But there is nothing to stop you using one of your 6-monthly alterations to change the subsequent regular payments to not match this.
I picked up a brochure and form today - very handy that IN are open on Saturday.

I didn't know this, thanks will drop in next saturday (company have moved from city center to what I call a banking 'blackspot'!!)
I was wondering this myself as I might not want to commit to another 2 year term like I was happy to do with anglo almost 2 years ago. Does it say anything in the brochure about this?
Raul,
what do you mean with minimum 2 years for Anglo, I wonder? I was under the impression you could stop Anglo's Regular Saver at any time and get the full interest up to the last day. However you have to close your Regular Saver for that. But there is no need to commit to two years.
Jethro, Oldtimer,
apart from Anglo most of the other banks which did not advertise that there was a max 2 year term reduced the rate much earlier (Halifax, AIB), so it looks like you are lucky if you get the full two years. This new product looks interesting. However, no guarantee that you get high interest after two years either (ECB+1% until 31/12/2010).

ptsb changed the terms on this account in May 2011.
But Mugs Game successfully challenged this penalty as he outlines here
Successfully challenged ptsb penalty on former Irish Nationwide account withdrawal
