    Passport witness without Stamp

    Do you mean the Garda signed the witness section as well as the section at the back? The Garda we spoke with wouldn't sign the witness section as she didn't know us personally.

    Passport witness without Stamp

    And stick the printed stamp on the application form? That sounds a bit too easy. Sure anyone could sign it then and it would be open to abuse.

    Passport witness without Stamp

    The garda has already stamped her part of the form. The witness part has to be signed by someone who knows you/the children personally. The chap in the post office said they'll probably send it back without the official stamp. I know a priest etc would have a stamp, but an accountant wouldn't...

    Shop @ Dunnes, Superquinn or SuperValu (Irish businesses) rather than German/British.

    Dunnes Stores is a disgrace. E.g Their own brand smoked salmon, €3.29 before Xmas. €3.49 in Jan. Then a few weeks ago put up to €3.89 for a couple of days. Then back down to €3.49 and a sticker proudly proclaims a price reduction! I dont care what rules are there for retailers but Dunnes...

    Pervious Concrete

    Mortgage Protection Ins v Life Assurance

    You stop at whatever figure is enough to cover the mortgage should you die tomorrow as that is what would be needed to pay the bank. As I said above its not about money for the surviving spouse, its about covering the mortgage. One way is MPI which will pay only the mortgage (which could be very...

    Mortgage Protection Ins v Life Assurance

    I dont necessarily want a life assurance policy as we both have stable professional jobs. But the bank says we must have a policy to cover the amount in the event of death. So I just fail to see the point in taking a mortgage protection policy over a life assurance policy. For an extra 7 quid...
