    Action over possession of "Dallas" style mansion in Ballyboughal begins in High Court.

    Came across this the other day - http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/action-over-possession-of-quotdallasquot-style-mansion-in-dublin-begins-in-high-court-798610.html

    I live near to this vast house and it has been unoccupied but maintained for years. I've flown my drone around the land it sits on many times and once met the gardener who was cutting the trees at the main entrance. This mansion has a separate building which houses a cinema, a massive swimming pool, a bar and a casino. There is also a 2 bedroom gate house and as part of the land there is a separate 4 bedroom house with separate entrance as well as vast sheds and offices.

    Even if the receiver takes this house back who in the hell would buy it? Any ideas? Wedding venue? Nursing home? Housing estate? Looking at the pictures on the mansion website where it is up for sale, it looks like the crown jewels are kept here and there is millions of pound of furniture and art within it. Anyone know anything about the owners, they are or were obviously very wealthy, there even have a helicopter stored in the helicopter hanger!!!

    I don't know anything about the owners, but that's some house. Way too ostentatious for me but there's bound to be someone with the money and taste for it.
