Ryanair to reduce stakes in Aer Lingus – Compare travel insurance!

Ryanair’s Chief Executive Michael O’Leary received a negative result from the UK Competition Commission (UKCC) today as he was told to reduce his minority 29.8% stake in Aer Lingus to 5%. The UKCC claimed that such a stake in Aer Lingus had led or may be expected to lead to a substantial lessening of competition on routes between the UK and Ireland. Michael had been expecting this result but said in a statement that he plans to challenge the commission’s decision. On the other hand, Aer Lingus’ Chairman Colm Barrington welcomed the outcome as he said it was unacceptable that the airline’s main competitor was allowed to remain on it’s share register.

House prices on the rise? Compare home insurance in Ireland now!

British house prices are rising at their fastest rate in over seven years as announced by a recent survey. This made great reading for many house owners who currently find themselves in negative equity, as the value of their home is worth less than the mortgage secured against it. The Bank of England suggested that interest rates would remain low for up to another 3 years and with new government incentives on lower cost mortgages this could sustain the upward trend for some time. The question is however, what is happening in Ireland as prices still remain stagnant? Is it time to buy before house prices rise once more?

If you are a homeowner, one thing is for sure, you need quality home insurance that meets your needs. At Paddy Compare you can compare cheap home insurance in Ireland free of charge.

Tough times for Irish homeowners – Compare home insurance now!

Many Irish residents have reduced their household spending due to the economic downturn. A recent study from the Central Statistics Office showed that over 80% have made cuts. Some cut back on discretionary spend on transport and going out to pubs and restaurants, others reduced their grocery spend or purchased cheaper clothing and footwear. Despite the cuts, many still admitted to not being able to fund their ongoing bills and many were not able to make mortgage repayments at least once in the last 12 months. To make matters worse, the introduction of the new Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act now allows banks to repossess homes and investment properties.
