May I draw attention to an item that seems to escape scrutiny and that is the higher per litre pump price of HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil). I switched my 1.5-litre diesel car to HVO in early 2024, when it was cheaper but the supplier has increased it since, stating the original price was an introductory promotion. The fuel is currently costing two to three cent more per litre than the prevailing diesel price.

On The Money doesn’t tend to take too much notice of press releases from banks but something crossed my desk this week that made me stop. It wasn’t revolutionary – this is from an Irish bank after all – it was just announcing a simple practical solution to a problem that hasproved intractable. Every year tens of thousands of people arrive in Ireland to study, start a job or return home after an extended period abroad.

A relative of mine, who died some years ago, named me in their will as sole executor and, in that capacity, I have dealt fully and properly with her estate, with the exception of one small matter: the deceased had a small holding of shares (valued today at about €3,000), of which I only became aware recently. These shares are in the sole name of the deceased. Must grant of probate be applied for before they can be dealt with?

You have to wonder what dog owners are thinking when they go to the trouble to scoop the poop and then just casually discard it on a lovely estate green used by children. Antisocial comes to mind and people around here have no excuse for that. https://t.co/JBNcUi9oYg
