Daragh Cassidy, Bonkers.ie / Dr Muireann Lynch, Senior Research Officer at the ESRI

Daragh Cassidy is the current Head of Communications at bonkers.ie, the price comparison and switching website. Before joining bonkers.ie Daragh had over 10 years' experience working in the banking and insurance industry. In his current role, Daragh regularly writes for the company's popular blog and has appeared on numerous local and national radio and TV show to discuss personal finance matters, energy related topics, and consumer affairs. We start by asking Daragh his journey to bonkers and the work he does there. Mortgages are a topic we discuss deeply, as the ECB now faces the challenge of slightly higher inflation than expected. Rates may stay higher for longer so it's foolish to hold off buying your first home until they come down. Revolut takes centre stage as we explore its success as a challenger bank and its planned venture into mortgage lending. But is it safe? Daragh unpacks the types of fraud customers face across the various banks in Ireland. PR plays a huge role in the relief they provide to customers. Savers should be moving vast sums of money into savings accounts, but they aren't. We Irish love inertia more than a bargain! Utilities are explored as we continue to see energy price cuts, but broadband providers face ongoing customer complaints. Daragh says we need more teeth in our regulation, and we may be too afraid of clamping down in case we lose providers. Dublin forms the end of our discussion as Daragh lays out the changes our capital city should see. A whole episode could be had on that one. Many thanks to Daragh for his time on the show.

In this episode we're joined by Daragh Cassidy, Head of Communications at bonkers.ie to discuss SIM-only deals. The new style of mobile plan, made popular in recent years by the likes of GoMo, can be one of the most cost-effective ways to save money on your mobile bills, and all without having to sacrifice any calls, texts or data. In this episode we take a look at SIM-only plans in detail and where consumers can find the best value.

In this episode we chat to Daragh Cassidy, Head of Communications at bonkers.ie, to discuss some alternative savings options. With a record €127bn on deposit in banks and financial institutions, many people are looking for a home for their savings. However, with interest rates at an all time low, the traditional savings environment now offers little to no reward. So, what other options are there for your hard-earned cash? We take a look.

Getting on the property ladder is a struggle for many first-time buyers as they grapple with high rents while also trying to save for a mortgage deposit. And unless you're hoping to come into an inheritance (and have some very old and sick relatives!) then hard choices lie ahead. However, there are a few things you can do and should know about that will make the process easier, which we discuss in this podcast with our Head of Communications, and recent home buyer, Daragh Cassidy.

71% of renters don't think they'll ever own their own home. But let's say you did want to buy a home, how would you even start? I had no idea either, but being in this job I had access to a whole range of experts in the industry to pick their brains. So I called a few of them up. In the first episode in the Guide to Adulting I sat down with Daragh Cassidy the Head of Communications for bonkers.ie, and prospective homebuyer, as well as digital content producer and homeowner Kevin Bolton to talk about all of the stages in the long path to buying your first home, to hopefully demystify the process a little.
