Good riddance to Reits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The impending departure of Ires Reit from the Irish Stock Exchange will bring the curtain down on a failed experiment in harnessing private capital for public good, writes John McManus. The other three real estate investment trusts (Reits) â Green, Yew Grove and Hibernia â have already gone after being sold. The only surprise, he says, is that Ires took so long and that anybody thought the idea would work in the first place. Sticking with investment, Irish Lifeâs Unio Wealth Management has
My outstanding balance is about â¬59,000, do I really still need mortgage protection? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have a query about mortgage protection policy. I have just over six years left on my mortgage. The outstanding balance is about â¬59,000. A rough valuation of my house is about â¬325,000. Iâm paying â¬30 for mortgage protection. Can I have no mortgage protection policy in place at all given the value of the house outweighs the outstanding balance? If I were to default on my mortgage payments, the bank would surely get its money if they had to repossess the house. Paying my mortgage repaym
Why should inheritance cost my special needs son his State supports? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a parent with a special needs son, can I highlight the difficulties and challenges we face in relation to inheritance. Our son has a disability and is receiving a disability allowance plus has a medical card. As parents we both are retired and our son resides with us.

Unfortunately, parents like us are never considered and many parents in
I need help tracking down a lost pension from my first job nearly 50 years ago (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During my first employment between 1977 and 1980 with Ascon (possibly taken over by Bam), I was informed that pension payments were made for me as part of my salary. I emigrated in 1980 and returned to Ireland in the late 1980s/early 1990s, setting up my own business. I never thought to see about the pension and a new PPSN was issued to me. Is there any way to track if some moneys are due to me from 1977-80? You are far from the only person who has never thought to track old pension pots. I susp
I have been left a share of a property in Spain. Where does that leave me on tax? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A friend, who is Spanish, has been resident here in Ireland for about 10 years. Her mother passed away recently and a house she owned in Galicia is being left to her and her brothers who live in Spain. They are not planning on selling it, for now anyway. Are there any tax implications or anything she would need to declare here in relation to that inheritance? Inheriting across borders is always confusing because it is messy. Every jurisdiction has its own tax regime in relation to inheritance an
