    This is also true most people I know a few people used power city for their white goods for quotes and the like of Smyths for buggies if needed I've not heard of using catolouges for quotes though I'd ask just in case

    I'll have them ready and see what the cwo says then if they won't do i'll go to the likes of power city Argos seems a lot cheaper that's the only reason i taught of there

    Oh yeah that's true on some items I just haven't heard of anyone showing a catolouge number or page for a quote

    Unless it's different in dublin to Waterford you might not need quotes as a couple of my friends have got the grant for council houses in the past few months and didn't need the quote for household items and white appliances but needed it for flooring and curtains/ blinds.
    Best of luck in your new home and your fresh start.

    Add the items you want a quote for to the shopping cart on Argos.ie, proceed to the checkout page and you'll get a summary of the goods and their prices.

    That should legally suffice as a "quote" and it's a little more helpful than circling items in a catalogue that was printed months ago...

    It's Been standard in Dublin for years ,usually 3 quotes for white goods and flooring if needed

    Sorry i haven't been on this in a few days my lil one was sick and i couldn't get a chance to check in on this, and thanks again everyone for the advice and well wishes it means an awful lot.
    I got a bit of bad news about the move the house was broken into and basicly wrecked so it's gonna delay my move in date the council hasn't told me much other than the above so god knows how long i'll be waiting for whatever damage they done to be fixed 😡

    So sorry to hear that. At least its just a delay and you haven't lost the house completely. These things happen but it will all fall into place in the end :)

    That's such a shame. Hope it won't be too long until it gets fixed up & you get to move in. I'd keep up regular contact with the council so they are motivated to get it done as soon as possible.

    I know you can get a white goods grant from the welfare, I am nor sure about whether a furnishing grant is available.

    Would it be possible for you to let me know what you did get a grant for ? As I'm applying myself and no clue what they give , did they give you anything towards furniture or was it just for flooring , washer f.f and cooker.

    They tend to give a grant for electrical goods, such as cooker, fridge and washing machine.
    Usually, they will pay for the upstairs to be floored/carpeted but that's not guaranteed.
    They will pay for beds too.
    Everything else, including sofas etc, are not covered.
