    If you are looking for mortgage protection, check out LA Brokers. I think the policy is the bare minimum required for the mortgage, so the rates are pretty good. They give you around 50% off the first year's rates, so well worth a look.

    Check out neighbours.ie for neighborhood forums. The site has a list of forums in Dublin and nationwide, allowing neighbours to discuss local issues, amenities or just have a natter.

    I'm a mod for my own neighborhood's forum but it's a non-profit resource.

    Thanks
