KBC Bank will give you 4.5% in a Savings account if you open up a Current a/c with them.

I apologise for not reading this fully, but on AskAboutMoney.com, they have threads which tracks this kind of information. Different thread for different types of savings, and each one will show when the info in the thread was most recently updated.

Sorry if this has been posted already.

Cheers for that. Confirms what I knew. Ain't going to shift from TSB to KBC for the sake of 0.10%.

As EPMD would say...

Instead I'm going to buy a small boat and gamble the rest in a mix of funds.

Anyone know any Irish companies worth buying shares in for the long term? CRH have served me well. Bank shares look very overinflated at present.

CRH is the only Irish share my filtering flagged about 6 weeks ago.
I missed the boat, it's now up 10% but still has a reasonable yield.
