Perfect house, outskirts of town, convenient for work, local schools etc. Quiet road, lovely view, great price. Best place we looked at by a long shot. Today we find out that the consultation process for a new outer bypass starts this week and they've published a draft plan with 5 alternate routes. The 2 most likely go within 25m of the house, so it would either be a CPO or have a dual carriageway out your back garden.... FML

It's an old school job, amazing beef mix with just sauce. Cheddar and bacon optional!

I'm finally getting to a point where we are no longer in negative equity and can look to move and now it looks like that can't happen. Having a single income based multiplier to set borrowings by is just downright bloody lazy. The more income you have the more disposable income you've got. So you can afford proportionally more the higher your salary. This doesn't take that into account. And based on average wage (35k) the way they have it set up the most a couple on the average wage could borrow would be €245k. Seeing as banks can only lend 80% of the property price that means a house of around €305k. How many houses are you going to get in Dublin for that? And how many couples on the average wage could possibly save €60k to pay that 20% of the house price? Especially when the rental market is going the way it is. It could be said that this will drive house prices down, but that in itself will simply mean second hand house sales will plummet because current home owners won't be able to afford to sell. I honestly can't see who, if anyone, will benefit from these ridiculous measures. Landlords?

I've heard it mention that the wages in Dublin are better so it compensates but in my experience that is definitely not the case. I personally blame all the country people coming up and taking our homes. Dey tuk r homes!!

It took us all of a day or two to tune them out though. It just becomes part of the background noise that you get used to.
