A simple guide to social and civic entitlements in Ireland

“Will perform a vital role in the ongoing development of consumer power in Ireland” – from the foreword by Eddie Hobbs

Following on from the sell-out success of Know Your Rights in 2006, Blackhall Publishing is pleased to announce the updated 2007 edition.

Know Your Rights is a simple user's guide in question and answer format, with real and practical examples of day-to-day rights and entitlements. It cuts across all Government Departments, with the focus on your needs and the most commonly asked questions relating to:

• Employment matters
• Tax relief
• The social welfare system
• Family matters, children's rights and divorce
• Consumer rights
• Property rights, rental issues and stamp duty
• Medical supports and simple guides to calculating your eligibility
• General rights including citizenship, access to information, correction of information stored concerning you and complaints regarding Government bodies and their decisions

It also includes new topics such as stamp duty, new VRT changes, importing vehicles, equity release and supports for the elderly and those with disabilities.
