    phone a indie mortgage broker, look at itsyourmoney.ie.

    you'll get a charge for coming away from fixed so probably not worth it.

    Just ask you bank what the penalty is to come off the fixed rate. Don't delay - because with variable rates coming down again very soon -any penalty will rise in the next few days . Do it today if the penalty is pretty low (under 500) or nil. Sort out the other stuff later. Don't let your bank fob you off with "we'll get back to you later" .
    It depends on the penalty and the size of the mortgage wether it's worth your while breaking the fix . Post back here with details of both when you know the penalty.
