Lifetime ISAs for Southern Ireland

[ohmygoshteens]

hi there,

Are lifetime ISAs eligable for Irish residents?

If so, does anyone have any pointers for any large Irish investment brokers?

Thanks,

It's Ireland.
There is no country called Southern Ireland.
Can't help with financial advice, sorry.

Kerry, Cork, Waterford?

They're not countries.

They don't have different rules for financial investment compared to the rest of the country.

@Terracottatiles,
I know they are not countries, but are definitely in the south of Ireland.

That's not in question.

Look, my point is that some people don't realise that the name of the country is Ireland and not Southern Ireland. It's a mistake that's often made on MN and understandable as there is a Northern Ireland.
But it's good to get names right if you can so I let OP know.
At least this bumped the thread for her.

Came here to say it's "Ireland" or "The Republic of Ireland". Or maybe you mean Munster?

No ISAs in the Republic, no.

thanks, i hadn't realised there were no isas in Ireland.

thanks anyway.

@Terracottatiles

They know alright, just chose to be insulting.

It's a different country with a different financial system to the UK, so you wouldn't expect to find the same products - especially products with tax relief.

I'm in NI (i.e. the UK) so I can't help, but if you post what your problem is, someone may be able to help. It's not clear from your OP where you're living, what you want to achieve and why.

Hang on a minute, I absolutely did not mean to be insulting.
I'm sorry if I've caused offence.

Thanks. I think it's mostly said as a mistake actually, not deliberately.

When called on it people can get defensive and argue the point instead of just saying oops, sorry. That's the wearing bit imo.

Sorry about the derail too.

If, as the OP suggests, he/she is in fact resident in Ireland, you’d think they’d have figured out the name of the country they live in.
