Not unusual in my experience. My card allows for 3 tapped transactions then I must use a PIN before being able to tap again.

I have heard it happen once before. A former work colleague told me that her mother made a similar arrangement with Dublin City Council a number of years ago (I don't know what money changed hands). The woman was housed in an apartment designated for senior citizens. The woman was in poor...

It could be the mains water supply. There are cottages in Drogheda where the mains water pipework and manholes run through the back gardens. These houses couldn't have water meters installed, as the installers required access to private property (so owners just said no).

Some people (myself included) found that, if they had opted out of the S&C scheme and were later opted in due to a change of job, S&C contributions were owed back to the date of first employment. In my case, this date pre-dated the scheme itself, which seemed very unfair. Any arrears due are...

Brendan, To answer your second question, she can't claim a Contributory OAP based on her ex-husband's records - it must be her own record.

Each PS organisation will (or should!) keep service records. If a person moves from one organisation to another,their service record should be transferred too. PRSI records aren't used to determine service for PS pension - as S Class mentioned, a part time worker could have a "full time" PRSI...

There was also an inpatient charge of 80 euro per night (max 10 nights per year) for non medical card patients. This was abolished in April 2023. The Drug Payment Scheme only covers medicines on the approved list - if prescribed medication isn't on the list, it must be paid for in addition to...
