Clear thinking about money
Money Talk is where we write down the things we find ourselves explaining most often. Pensions, mortgages, savings, protection and the everyday decisions in between, set out in plain language so you can weigh them up on your own terms.
Every situation is different, so the articles here are written to give you the background and the right questions to ask rather than a one size fits all answer. Where a decision deserves proper advice, we say so.
- Practical guides to mortgages, pensions and protection
- Jargon explained, including a full glossary of terms
- Irish rules, Irish figures and Irish tax relief
- Written and reviewed by qualified financial advisers
