Noel Baker reports on two West Cork communities awaiting urgent Irish Water works to address raw sewage that is being released directly into the sea.

One of Cork’s most beautiful ‘Big Houses’ is to appear in the popular RTÉ TV series Lords and Ladles.

Extensively refurbished by its UK-based Irish owner, this home had been on the market last year priced at just over €1m.

Tommy Barker says Castletownsend’s Tot’s Cottage has something different going on behind its facade.
