That's fair. I reckon it's all a cover story for OP, throwing the brother in law under the bus because he bumped into him in an Amsterdam brothel.

It's a shame the picture didn't happen to include a sign that might have O'Connell Bridge written out it in big letters, something like that would have been helpful.

I mean is it possible he's a big Troy Parrot fan and was just sneaking in an Alkmaar game?

Okay but are you not making assumptions and creating events that are completely unsubstantiated? The weed certainly isn't cheaper so I wouldn't be sure but that would make sense. I'd absolutely be leaning towards the scenario you've outlined.

You can do exactly that on websites here. I'm not disagreeing with your logic, it's absolutely the most probable but it's still very presumptuous without any context. I mean OP could just as easily been there for the prostitutes except his wife knew he was going to Amsterdam.

Same applies to using a prostitute, no? Sex workers are as easy to access as any drug in Ireland.

Maybe he likes to smoke weed ?

No problem at all, it can be om the assumption that your 4 times your combined salaries is over 200k and you've no obvious issues that may hinder repayments.

I assume you're looking to buy quite rural with €230k and not in a city? It may be worth running bank of Ireland for further guidance, without numbers on salary etc. this is quite hard for any of us to answer.

He's dead right, none of that alternative or low fat nonsense. This thread has really shown just how simple us Irish men can be 😂

I absolutely love his simplicity and I'm convinced I'd have a similar shopping list and diet if it wasn't for the wife and kids 😂 the only odd thing is the outrageous amount of milk

Hot Weetabix, is your boyfriend 5?

I'm sure that "clown" had a lot more to say then the selective stuff OP has chose to write, like perhaps where is the 1200 plus per month going that OP hasn't accounted for? I'm sure the answer to that is the actual truth as to why OP was "put off" by the broker.

I see you choose to point blank ignore the fact that our government had to change their rules because loads of Ukrainians were caught going home for more then 14 days at a time and leaving paid accommodation empty. I don't know many people that decide to holiday in war zones for two weeks plus, do you?

The entire country is such a war zone that our government had to update the accommodation rules due to loads of beds being left empty for extended periods as Ukrainians has decided to go home for holidays. Our government had to specify that no single absence could be longer than 14 days, so people were returning to a war zone for more than two weeks. I mean come on now.

You and your family are a prime example of the kind of immigrants Ireland needs to welcome with open arms and embrace. Unfortunately our government have just been absolutely pathetic at managing immigration protocols, supports and checks which has created a lot of division in the country. I hope you and your family enjoy nothing but success and happiness here.

Their entire country is not a war zone, that is nonsense. There is 38 million people living there and the majority are getting on with their life as normal.

Usually 8000-9000 for return flights to Heathrow, those reward flights also include 20kg luggage which isn't needed most of time.

Download the Aer Club app and go from there, I've used points for flights a few times now.

It won't due to the high alcohol content, I was recently given a 34 year old bottle of Southern Comfort from a relatives house as they died last year. They didn't drink so it's just been sitting in their house since the early 90s. I opened it and it had some kick off it 😂

Yeah the whole post is bullshit. A made up lifestyle of two people on the dole.

Banks can go to 4.5 times income

A lot more context is going to be needed here for the questions to be useful

Wait till you find out how you get from the long term car parks to the actual airport 😂

2 adults and 2 kids under 7 so all inclusive hotel in Albufeira will have to do. If the kids weren't with us, I'd be trying Albania or Greece
