there seems to be a fair amount of disagreement over what happens to the interest on these State Savings. Shouldn't there be clear guidelines set down somewhere where ordinary Joe Soaps can have some chance of doing the right thing?
I know lots of old fogies like me who put their savings into these under the misapprehension that they were completely tax free, and it would put an end to having to deal with tax issues, but as far as I can see it's worse than dealing with ordinary savings that are taxed at source automatically.
An Post or the Revenue should have an explanatory page somewhere, because there are a serious amount of people out there with their hard earned in these.
