THE detached Douglas, Cork home Caragh on the salubrious Well Road may now be inched closer to a tempting sale, thanks to a further price drop designed to get a deal struck and new owners in the door.

CORK City Council has cleared a €1 million interest-free loan to expand a flagship publicly-owned pool and gym complex.

GREENBANKS is a contender for Cork house sale of the year. It isn’t just the link with local rock legend, the late Rory Gallagher, whose mother lived here for several decades: the house and its grounds are in a class of their own.

SET up by the top of the Well Road in Cork city, close to Lovetts restaurant, the revamped Silver Quay bar and restaurant and Cork Constitution, slightly overlooking Mahon golf club and estuary is the three-bed semi Dooneen.
