Have a look at the 'How do you buy shares?' sticky for some good starting tips.

Well small now but I'm interested setting aside maybe E30 per week indefinitely...I know people usually invest in a lump sum...but I'd rather hold onto my current savings and invest future income... Is there anywhere that charges low commission?
Regards
Alan

Can't think of any stockbrokers in Ireland.

To be fair, the best bet has always been depositing larger sums to get around commission and fees.

Might be an idea to start with funds like the Rabodirect funds. You can buy in from 100 euro at a time. SO you could just deposit your 30 / week then buy into a specific fund when you have the 100
