I haven't been following this series at all and just caught a few minutes of the show tonight. I noticed Eddie talking about AVCs through a PRSA being a good way to save due to the tax relief (42% in this case). Like many people Eddie seemed to ignore the significant fact that up to 6% PRSI/health levy relief is also available meaning that for some people each €1 into the pension will effectively cost them €0.52.
Also - the husband was tasked by Eddie with investigating AVCs/PRSAs but admitted to not having a clue. Instead of recommending independent, professional advice they seemed to be dealing with tied agents (at least I presume the one shown was an Eagle Star tied agent given the Eagle Star eagle statue on his desk).
I realise that the show can only gloss over many of the relevant issues but I believe that these are small but important ones even for casual viewers and would not have taken much time to mention.
