Re: Finance related Master Porgrammes

would you consider accountancy exams? been working in banking for 7 years and from what I have seen (and from personal experience) doing the exams, be it CIMA, ACA or ACCA is something which stands out more than a masters. I did ACA through a bank but would recommend ACCA as it fits better from a st...

Cannot recall the specifics but there are provisions to prevent directors loans which are for the purpose of a distribution in irish revenue legislation.

Re: The RDS 'Faithful'

Re: Match Day Experience Becoming a Circus

It was the east upper, over towards the corner. I'd agree with the sentiment here about all the fanfare but at the end of the day it is days like saturday (where we attract 40k+ fans) that mean we can keep the big names, both players and coach. I will also admit that I went out during te first half ...

Re: Season Ticket holder not renewing

I didn't renew for the first time since moving to the RDS. My reasons were that I'm gong to miss minimum 3 home games and there were too many early saturday kick offs of sunday afternoon kick offs the last few years which generally annoy me as I like my few pints after the games. Having said that I'...

Re: Friday's rant

Half an hour waiting for a bus on the N11 this morning!! In that time I counted 13 buses passing and a total of 5 people getting on them as the rest were full. By the time i decided to give up and get a taxi there were roughly 70/80 people at the bus stop. If this is a sign of things to come I might...

When is this going to be announced? Would it not be better to have it announced so people could buy a tshirt in advance and plan to go to whatever event may be happening to mark the occassion??

Restaurants near the Gate

I am going to the Gate on THursday evening and plan on going to get something to eat beforehand.

The problem is the play starts at 7.30 and I won't be getting to the City Centre until about 7.

Does anyone have any suggestions on places to eat either close to or on the way to the Gate?

Cheers

Kielys will be open at around 5.45. Although i'd advise not to be late as there won't be any seats left. The breakfast is pretty good too!

Re: Receivers appointed to Superquinn

What may happen is that the suppliers are paid for the stock in hand. i.e. the stock currently in the shops.

I cannot see the suppliers being paid for amounts due other than this. Especially since Musgraves will more than likely already have preferred suppliers in place.

Re: Receivers appointed to Superquinn

Doesn't bode well for the suppliers. Receiver would be appointed to burn all creditors. The receiver is obliged to seek out the best recovery for the company. This is usualy proven through a marketing process. It will be interesting to see whether this stands up here. The guarantors may be able to a...
