Housing development going in there now The old race course site UL planning to redevelop the site of the old dunnes city centre store and move part of the campus to the city centre

PropQueries wrote: » Looks like they're using their junior ministers to sound out the public's reaction to a "temporary" increase in income taxes (at higher level) to pay for the costs of the pandemic with the Irish Independent reporting that "Green Party junior minister Joe O’Brien has asked the Minister for Finance for a single tax on high earners and companies which have been highly profitable during the pandemic." That's a few major signals over the past couple of months on what's coming down the line. The Minister for Public Expenditure was saying a few months ago about the need to fund a "bigger state" and John Moran of the LDA was calling for a mini-budget. I assume commercial rates for councils will be well down over the coming years so I'm also assuming an increase in property taxes just to meet that shortfall will be signalled soon enough as well.

“There is the very real scenario that some are accumulating savings and or wealth during this time while others are facing severe financial distress that is worsening the longer the pandemic remains,” the Minister of State at the Department of Rural and Community Development writes.

I must be going mad because I'm considering it. Cul de sac, close to a green area and potential to add an extra room.

I would wager that the state is drooling at the thought of tapping into the Savings of its citizens. Regarding a bigger state, I will ever be of a mind that an opportunity to dramatically reduce the size and scope of the state was lost in the last recession. Of course, Turkeys don't vote for Christmas, do they.

A lot of the eyesore elements would be departing with the owners. I'd have no problem spending a few weekends with a roller and brush. A lot of the cabinetry is way too fussy for my tastes, but if your pockets are deep enough, that too could be fixed.

A very good option if you don't have a foreign account is to use your savings to buy bitcoin, then you will be immune from being scalped. There is something to be said for Robert Heinlein's notion that those dependent on a state for their income, shouldn't be allowed to vote.
