Fixed term tenancy in Ireland, terminating tenancy early, assignment and landlord refusing consent

Hi, I’m looking for advice from anyone familiar with Irish residential tenancy law.

I’m currently in a fixed term tenancy for an apartment in Dublin. I got an offer of a job paying really well in cork and after some difficult circumstances since moving in, including my car being stolen from the apartment’s underground car park, I have asked the management company whether the landlord would agree to a mutual surrender of the tenancy.

My questions are:

Can I formally request the landlord’s consent to assign the tenancy to a replacement tenant, even though the tenancy is fixed term?

If the landlord refuses consent to the assignment, does that refusal give me a statutory right to terminate the fixed term tenancy under section 186?

Would I make that request through the management company, as the managing agent, rather than contacting the landlord directly?

If this applies, what notice period/procedure would I have to follow to terminate the tenancy legally?

I’m not looking to simply walk away from the lease or stop paying rent. I’m trying to understand the proper legal route if the landlord won’t agree to a mutual surrender.

Any advice from someone who’s actually dealt with this in Ireland would be really appreciated.

Need advice from Liverpool fans: best January matchday experience for my boyfriend’s surprise?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice from Liverpool fans who know the club and matchday experience better than I do!
My boyfriend is a huge Liverpool supporter and I’m hoping to surprise him with tickets as a really special gift.

I’m planning a trip over and I’m torn between a few January fixtures: Liverpool v Crystal Palace at Anfield, Liverpool v Everton at Anfield, or Liverpool v Manchester United at Old Trafford. I’d love to hear from people who have been to these games or know the atmosphere well. which one would you choose for a really memorable first Liverpool match experience?
I’m also wondering what seats/stands you’d recommend. I’ve been looking at hospitality options because I want to make the whole day feel special for him, and money isn’t really an issue I’d rather spend more and make it a day he’ll always remember.

Just to add getting tickets won’t be a problem as I have connections, so I’m not looking for advice on where to buy them. I’m mainly looking for advice from people who know Anfield/Old Trafford well about which fixture is the best choice and where the best seats would be.
Thanks so much, any advice is really appreciated!
