    Hi there,



    I've got a bit of money that I want to invest and control completely online. I have it in my current account, cos I was expecting to have to pay out most of it for another investment which never came to pass. I now want to put it somewhere online that I can manage it online.



    Is there any book or website for the Irish market that would help me understand this. I read John Lowe's book and a few others but they are more general.



    if you can point me in the right direction, I'll read about it myself



    thanks.

    Haven't found an Irish targeted website or book explaining this - maybe there's a gap in the market there!
    An online broker that many here recommend (including myself) is degiro  - easy to sign up for an account with them, cheap fees and you can buy everything you need through them.
    With respect to choosing what you invest in, that hugely comes down to personal preference, risk tolerance etc. 
    This a good website to understand the basics etc.: https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Main_Page
    And to then actually choose the inevitable ETFs you will want to follow up on, have a look at https://www.justetf.com/uk/find-etf.html?groupField=none&sortField=ter&assetClass=class-equity&sortOrder=asc

    Where is it possible to see what companies are in the ETF?

    Depends on the ETF. Most of them have some sort of document detailing the particulars of the ETF, and the top 10 constituents of it. Some further have excel sheets with the total constituents listed, and weightings etc. You'd find them from the ETF provider's website.
    Or, if the ETF is following a tracker of a public index, like the S&P 500 or the EURO STOXX 50, you can just google the tracker and see who's included.
