  1. Whatever you spend, you have to be prepared to accept that the resulting new build will be worth less. I could buy a similar bungalow for between 200/250k. However the very few that come onto the market tend to be 20+ years old, and need upgrading. One of our considerations is that my son uses a wheelchair. Our current 2 storey house has been assessed; basically it's completely impractical for his future needs. I could write a long list of adaptations required, but will pick just one. All doorways need to be widened, to accommodate his chair. Whatever I spent on the house would have the effect of devaluing it! Not far from us some friends are building; they will pay over €400k for a detached 3 bed house.
  2. I've started the ball rolling in this regard, but it's rolling very slowly. On the edge of the town I live in, we've offered €40k for a half acre site (though 3/4 acre possible) with only far views of countryside to the south and west. But it's 100 yards away from the town sewerage system, and our architect has now been waiting two and a half months to hear from Planners whether this site can be attached. Build costs are high, even here in the West of Ireland, and in fact tighter regulations from January will push them higher. I would expect that €300k to build a 4 bed bungalow will be insufficient. Where I live currently we can see a house being built on a far hill. The groundwork there (money they literally will never see again) cost €100k.
  3. My son uses a wheelchair, so I'm delighted to hear that the club is so considerate to those with disabilities. Up the City!
  4. As it stands, we're 10th in the table, 4 points off 6th place. I don't understand how though.

  6. Zeljko Kalac, Bob Hazell, Neil Lennon, Alan Young.
  7. Hope you made it safely to the West, here's just a few ideas to look into. The first two if you want to be active, the others if you don't... Pallas Karting, at Tynagh near Loughrea. Mid Ireland Adventure at Banagher offer a range of outdoor activities. In Birr, the Chestnut Pub on Green Street. Musicians/turf fire etc. At Tully, Kildare Town, there's the Irish National Stud, if you're into horses. And then a huge choice in Dublin. Maybe the Irish Whiskey Museum, 119 Grafton Street? Or the Aviva Stadium tour. Alternatively, wherever you are, just ask what the local craic is. Good luck!
  8. I just met up with my old friends from the limbo team. We go way back.

  17. The top five clubs have played the bottom five 19 times this season, and won every one. Scoring 60 goals, conceding 12. Just an illustration of the huge gulf there is.
  18. After opening ballot boxes, we always hear about the presence of tallymen. Never tallywomen or tallychildren. Do women or children not count?
  19. City 4-3 win on penalties.
  20. Hard to see, but Gary McAllister?
