DEVELOPMENT land with agricultural potential scored well at auction last week, when 11.5 acres near Kilcummin village made just under €18,700 per acre at auction.

BUILT in the 1820s, just as Catholic Relief Act of 1829 was enacted, this substantial period property at Murroe, Co Limerick reflects the history of Ireland.

WHILE Limerick has a huge amount of new shopping space to offer retail newcomers such as Marks & Spencer, the city is short of large factory units for multi-national industries, a breakfast briefing heard yesterday.

THE design impetus was the result of trawling internet sites, the interior design was the client’s own, and the house eventually took “three flogging years” to build.

THERE’S pastiche and then there is this house at Crecora in Co Limerick - a detailed and finely executed tribute to the Irish country house.
