Those posts are from back in 2006, any chance of getting something more realistic for 2010?
Best Buys - Highest Term Deposit Rates:
3 Months - Irish Nationwide - 3.55%
1 Year - Irish Nationwide and Anglo Irish Bank - 3.50%
The full 500K is state guaranteed if you open a term deposit with INBS before September 29th 2010.
If you opened a 2 year term deposit on that date you're covered til 26th Sept 2012 for the full amount. Am I correct Fungus?
