Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

“My salary was in my wardrobe” - How a former shopaholic overcame her overspending
Q: What is the strategy for overcoming the dopamine-driven urge to spend?
Paige explains that you combine mindset work with practical checks: slow down the decision, ask what you're really buying, consider the value and longevity, and ensure it fits your financial plan; also practice delaying gratification and visualize future priorities to reduce impulsive buys.
‘The cheapest quote can end up being the most expensive’: How to keep renovation costs down
Q: First of all, tell me about you, what does a quantity surveyor do exactly?
A quantity surveyor on the client side (PQS) manages the budget, translates drawings into a bill of quantities, and guides tendering across 3-4 contractors, ensuring prices cover the scope and flagging omissions. A contractor's QS represents the contractor's interests, handling variations and cost claims.
Ireland’s new EV scrappage scheme opens tomorrow. Can you still get the €5,000 grant?
Q: What are the practical implications for buyers and dealers on July 1st when the grant starts?
July 1st is expected to be busy with many deposits and orders; some buyers may not get the grant, and dealers will be navigating a rush while some sanctions or extensions may be announced later; buyers should still consider the substantial base grant plus additional incentives and the broader value proposition of EVs.
Ireland’s new EV scrappage scheme opens tomorrow. Can you still get the €5,000 grant?
Q: Who qualifies and how does the application process work — through a dealership or directly with SEAI?
Applications are done through SEAI, and car dealerships can handle the paperwork for customers; you can also contact SEAI directly for forms. Qualifying cars must be 13 years old or older and be scrapped, not traded in.
Ireland’s new EV scrappage scheme opens tomorrow. Can you still get the €5,000 grant?
Q: What exactly is the ICE-2EV scheme and how does the €5,000 top-up work with the existing €3,500 grant?
The ICE-2EV scheme adds a €5,000 top-up to the existing €3,500 SEAI grant for people trading in an end-of-life vehicle (13 years or older) against a new EV, but the overall fund is capped at €10 million for the pilot, with a rural allocation and a city allocation that limits total cars funded.
