I was injured in a road traffic accident last year. My friend was driving too fast and he crashed the car when he failed to take a sharp bend on the road. I was not seriously injured but I have been left with a noticeable scar on my forehead. My friend recently remarked that I may be entitled to compensation. Is this true, I have no other side effects from the accident? Please advise me.

Leading local law firm Byrne Carolan Cunningham LLP Solicitors has promoted two of its senior lawyers, Dolores Gacquin and Sinead Costello, to the position of partner within the firm.

My husband passed away recently. He made a will prior to his death and he left the farm to our son. The farm was in his name, but we farmed it together all our married life. Our home was also in his name and he left me with just a life interest in my home and after my death it will also pass to our son. I am very disappointed, and I feel ill-treated. I had assumed that he would leave all to me and I could then pass all to our son on my death. I am still quite young, and I am worried about having enough money to support myself going forward. My relationship with my son can be strained at times. Is there anything I can do?

My partner and I have lived together for the past two years. I own the house where we live. My partner recently told me that he made a will and he is leaving his entire estate to me. He is not particularly wealthy but I understand he has a large life insurance policy. I don’t want to sound ungrateful but if my partner passed away would I be left with a very large inheritance tax bill?

I hope to buy some agricultural land in the coming months. I would like some advice on the likely taxes I may have to pay. I understand that I will have to pay stamp duty? Are there any other taxes I should be aware of e.g. Capital Gains Tax, Capital Acquisitions Tax?

I live in a beautiful part of County Roscommon where stone walls are a common sight. The problem I have is that a landowner refuses to maintain their stone wall and stones from the wall often fall onto the road causing a hazard for passing motorists and cyclists. I cycle along this particular road quite frequently and I have asked the landowner to maintain the wall but he refuses. Please advise me.

I am 33 years old and I do not have private health insurance. I simply never bothered as I felt I would not need it until I am much older. I understand that if I take out private health insurance when I am older it will be much more expensive for me. Is this true? Please explain it to me.

I live in the countryside and I do my best to keep my property clean and tidy. I am fed up however of other road users destroying the public road with clay, muck etc. Surely there is a law prohibiting this practice? Please advise me.

I received a letter from Revenue a few weeks ago about Local Property Tax and I have no idea what to do with it. What is it all this about? Do I need an exact valuation for my property from an auctioneer?
