    ESRI: 2/3rds of people living in houses too big for their needs

    We wanted to downsize from a 5 bed to a 3 bed. We looked at houses in Mount Merrion, near to where we live. We wanted a south facing back garden to grab some of the winter sun. The developer wanted €50k extra for the south facing garden. Lots need to change.

    Aviva says lowest car Insurance quote available is €280.

    Just a tip. We have two cars with Aviva. Usually renewed as "new" customer insurance every year because it is cheaper than just paying the renewal. Got my home insurance renewal recently. About €100 dearer than last year. On close examination I noticed that they had not linked our car...

    Why do people open credit union accounts?

    I have a Credit Union account. I can drop in there when in the locality and withdraw some cash, lodge cheques, no queues.......nice people. It's a completely separate account to my bank accounts and not linked in any way. I like old fashioned.

    Ryanair flight delay.....How do I claim.

    I sent in my claim and this is the response that I got back.... Following a review of your claim, we regret to advise that no liability to compensation arises under the EU261 regulation, as your flight was delayed less than 3 hours on arrival and our position remains final. If you are unhappy...

    Should we pay more tax to have a better society?

    Poorly spent. It is all around me in DunLaoghaire Rathdown. Roads, footpaths, buildings.... As someone who walks in the grounds of UCD Belfield for over 40 years now, I have never seen a place that wastes more money as there. Roads built, the same roads dug up. Landscaping done then same...

    Ryanair flight delay.....How do I claim.

    A recent Ryanair flight was delayed by over 2.5 hours. I am entitled to compensation according to Ryanair information. Unfortunately I cannot find a way to actually make a claim. Is there an online form or do I just send them an email? Thanks

    Bank of Ireland share price drop today

    As they say "Buy on rumour, sell on fact". I have this problem with a share that will announce results in two weeks or so. The share price has been running up for the past few days and I expect it to continue right up to the results. I may sell before the announcement (many will) but I expect...

    Key Post How much will you spend in retirement?

    We always enjoyed having a win on the Prize Bonds when we were posted a cheque. We would stroll down to the credit union and lodge the cheque then treat ourselves to a lunch. It is not the same now, getting your wins in new prize bonds or having funds lodged direct in to your bank account. I...

    Key Post How much will you spend in retirement?

    Same here. Make do and mend is our motto. In fact, I have been getting rid of "stuff" online. Every time I sell something I say to my wife....lunch out or take out....

    Cheap City Breaks

    I must be the only person who thought that Annecy was only O.K. The one photo that they show is of a relatively small place in Annecy.

    Key Post How much will you spend in retirement?

    The above was for 2023. We had some great holidays. Mostly with Ryanair. Most of the flights were "delayed". By booking hotels early and joining the hotels loyalty programme we got some decent discounts. We were unfortunate to get Covid during our May holiday, not too bad for me but worse for...

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    This is giving me the sweats. For once, I booked flights at below €60 and checking them yesterday they are now over €200 one way. The return leg has also increased in price. I have booked my hotels, everything is set. It is a two centre holiday, so any changes to my flight times will...

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    Reading their email to you it is obvious that everything is stacked for their benefit. They can change the schedule. They don't have to notify you because it may change again. There is no timeframe on when you receive the email. They can do what they like.

    Why would you think this? You are making an assumption that people are stupid. Just because it happened to you....

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    ....or when they send you their confirmation of booking email they could insert the word "provisional" beside the departure times?
