    Not Glenmalure. It's near Laragh on the Sally Gap road very near Glenmacnass waterfall.

    Knew it was up around there somewhere but had Glenmalure stuck in my head.I did work on the land in front of that house though along with many other remote areas of Wicklow.

    That ad infuriates me. Can you imagine how cold, damp, smelly and rotten that house would be?

    ..and that was before Grandad got sent to jail for murdering Grandma....

    So. Is the old fella Benjy from the Riordans?

    There’s a €20 bet on this!
    It sure is! Tom Hickey.

    (I thought he was dead :eek:)

    Used to live near enough to me, passed his house on the way to school.

    You owe me a pint out of that €20 :D

    CGI?? Bog standard 70s/80s built bungalow. I'd say they were tripping over them when they were looking for a location.

    Good old Bungalow Blitz.

    The coast of Connemara is covered with them. As in you can't get a good landscape view without one of them sticking out like a sore thumb.

    They are part of the landscape, like it or not, just like quaint picture-postcard stone cottages are part of the landscape. You just don't want a landscape view with anything vaguely modern in it. You may not like it, but that doesn't make it good or bad.

    I dare say, blissful bungalows will be admired by people in a hundred years... or two hundred years...

    Lets just say that it's the kinda place that a box of matches and a gallon of petrol would have improved immensely....

    One generator not only fires up the heating, but also wallpapers the rooms, installs mood lighting, changes the whole colour scheme, and provides a party atmosphere.

    Magic, it is :rolleyes:

    Tom Hickey?

    As it happens, from wiki....
    In 2013, Hickey was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.[8] During an interview on The Marian Finucane Show on 11 April 2015, he spoke of his determination to continue acting despite the onset of this condition.[9]
