Ciarán FerrieI visited Pelletstown Train Station at the weekend - this is a great example of compliance with the letter of the law but not the spirit of the law.To travel the 70m distance from one side of the railway station to the other requires about half a kilometre of ramps and bridges.

The Stage Rabbit (he/him)Even one character off, and the receiving bank will not only refuse the transaction, but hold the money for three business days UNLESS you pay a fee to correct the name, or to release the money early.I appreciate the extra caution, but the equivalent difference between "Company Name, Ltd" and "Company Name" shouldn't cause a transaction to fail.
