We are delighted that Irish Life decided to sponsor our book ‘Talking Money’ which is based on the successful radio segment that has been on the RTE Radio 1 ‘Drivetime’ show with Mary Wilson for about the last year and a half.

It’s free to download, here is a link to a pdf copy, or you can get it from Irish Life’s website, and we’ll have a limited number of hard copies too.

We are really excited about this and hope you find the information in the book useful – one thing is for sure, the price is right!
