I'm an AIB current a/c holder and often need to set up new account payees. One is limited to transfers to those already set up as payees. This - pretty basic - facility has not been available for well over a month now. And when you try to access it it says that the service is not available and...

First up, a question: is there a likelihood of the 41% deduction on 'profits' from investment funds likely to be reduced any time soon? Or any other lightening of the load on those who invest in such funds. My impression was that there was a discussion in advance of recent budgets about the...

Tks EmmDee and Red Onion for the advice / clarification. Much appreciated.

Good point. But I guess there are regulatory guarantees offered to holders of investments - in cases where a firm collapses - and that these vary from member state by member state? My main question is whether Degiro being bought out by a German investment firm with a banking licence strengthens...

What are the implications for Degiro a/c holders of the proposed merger / buyout by Flatex announced this morning? Flatex has agreed to buy out Degiro for 250m euro. Flatex is another European broker with a public listing in Germany and with a German banking licence and is regulated by BaFin...

Wondering if any boarder knows who best to approach. A bird appears to have fallen down the old chimney of our 2-storey house in Dublin city centre. And is currently either trapped (or residing, though I doubt that somehow) on top of the venting from our kitchen cooker. When I removed the vent...

Tried inserting links but prevented from doing so. Google 'Coca Cola direct share purchase' or 'L'Oreal shareholder reasons to invest' to see examples of schemes. For Coca Cola, Computershare US administer the 'direct share purchase' scheme. For L'Oreal, there is an additional 10% dividend...

Have a Degiro a/c with over 40k across 9 stocks. I like the platform and low fees but am minded not to increase my exposure given that the Dutch supervisory agency only covers up to 20k per account. I have tried to find more details about Degiro but such reporting as I have found tends only to...

Conditions for sale of AIB shares appear v.restrictive in general. One has to have an a/c with one of a small number of stockbrokers. Generally local ones with very high commission charges - no Degiro for instance. Also is it the case that existing shareholders are not going to be allowed the...

Used to be no problem booking a slot for tesco home delivery (dublin 8) within 24 or 48 hours. Last week, there were no slots within a WEEK. This week a few daytime slots tomorrow Monday but apart from that only one two hour slot in the next week. A home delivery service that cannot provide an...

Many thanks Brendan. The collective memory works ... so reduction in AMF is BY 0.5% and not TO 0.5% and after 15 years, not 10 years. Let's see if Irish Life take over and honour this QL commitment. For savers invested over such a long period, the difference is likely to be many hundreds of...

As far as I recall one of the advantages of a long-term investment in QL funds was that after 10 years, the annual mgmt fees were reduced. My recollection is that the reduction was to 0.5% for those funds which were charging 1% pa in the first ten years. I've gone to check old QL documentation...

This is not a share discussion. Greencore have a rights issue to buy a big US outfit. They have sent all shareholders an SAE with a take-up option on new shares at 9 for every 13 held, at a lower than mkt price. I guess that many of their shareholders are in Ireland. Greencore are now quoted...

I decided to add some Vodafone shares thinking this was a cheap way to do so. That's the way it has been publicised. I sent a cheque for 5k euro in the week of Feb 15-19, it was cashed on Feb 26 according to my bank a/c. Yesterday, March 11 I checked on computershare to see if there was...
