Understanding Money with Eoin McGee

In this week's episode, our focus is on the critical topic of protection - life cover, specified illness cover, and income protection. Rather than talking about the ins and outs of policies, our aim is to spotlight individuals where protection helped them out at a time in their life that really need it.

We speak with Jackie, who was diagnosed with MS in 2022, she courageously shares her personal health and financial journey.

This week we are talking about the attractiveness of Ireland - be it for those who left years ago and are contemplating a return, or for those considering Ireland as their new home for the first time. There is a lot of negative press around Ireland as a whole at the moment. What we wanted to do on this episode was look at the positive side of where we are as a country right now, and what makes it an attractive destination.

Joining us in this discussion is Steven, who generously shares his personal journey and experiences with relocating to Ireland.

In this week’s episode, we're diving into the world of self-employment. Taking that leap can be very scary, but it's all about getting your ducks in a row before you make the jump. If you are thinking of going out on your own, talking to people who have already made the move is one of the best things to do.

We talk to Karina today, sharing her journey from PAYE worker, getting a pay slip every week to venturing out on her own. Hopefully after you listen you have a better feel for the ins and outs of being self-employed.
