@eircare both mine and my wife's phones say "you are currently barred from making calls. Please contact customer care". Can't call them either, for this reason. My account is fully up to date. I need this rectified urgently as these are business phones. Anyone else having this?

@eircare Waited 1 hour 20 minutes on hold to speak to the loyalty dept yesterday to see if they can improve pricing as I'm out of contract on 2 business mobiles, home broadband and office broadband. No one answered. Thanks for making the decision for me to leave Eir! #eirdontcare

@eircare 45 minutes on hold trying to speak to the loyalty dept so far to see if they can reduce my €75 a month down to the same service offered by Vodafone for €30 a month. I could probably have driven from my house to their office and knocked on the door to ask in less time!

@billbutch Pragmatic & simple solution that will work when properly installed, and it looks to be a neat installation. If there is no EWI or cavity insulation outboard of this, I'd tape the Quinn board to the joists and IWI board on the inner face too, as well as to whatever is above.

@LowNRGdesign Brilliant stuff James, congratulations!

A beautiful #passivehouse thermal bridge free foundation detail @KingspanIns_IRL 250mm XPS against @QuinnBPltd thermal block inner leaf. This is the kind of sh*t that turns me on!

@architectmark Stunning. Imagine the price tag if that was in north Wicklow! Still a great buy though if you have 50k burning a hole in your pocket. Now where did I put that 50k?.....
