Does anyone have any information of how to buy (Irish) Government / Treasury Bonds at a low cost? Have been quoted a % cost from a stockbroker which is v. high. Perhaps someone knows of a way to buy at a flat fee which may work out cheaper?
I investigated this a while back. It seems to be only possible by paying a broker ridiculous fees for doing next to nothing. I believe in the UK you can buy their bonds at the local Post Office counter.
Has anyone gotten any more ideas on this since this thread was last visited 2 years ago? Now that irish Government bonds are paying high rates it seems an attractive investment
