Best rate for monthly savings >Euro1500

[Newbie!]

I've read Ccovichs last thread with the best rates for monthly savers. After an expensive few years, we now feel we are in a position to save approx. 2000euro per month. We would like to do this for a minimum of approx 18months but possibly for longer. Can anyone advise on where the best place to save this would be?

If its a joint account you can save up to 2k a month in the Anglo Irish Regular Savings a/c

If you want a regular saver account, then I suggest the below ..

1) As the previous poster pointed out, If there are 2 of you then Anglo Regular Saver for 12 months, then pop back here to see where to put your lump sum ...
