A charity for the prevention of self-harm and suicide has recorded a 40% increase in attendance at its services in the first six months of this year compared with the same period in 2011.

COMING under swift viewings and early offers too is No 26, also called Koran, on Highfield Lawn off the Model Farm Road in Cork city.

THERE are plump, one-foot-long Koi fish in the water feature pond at the back of 10 Court Cairn – might this house sale also be as easy as shooting fish in a barrel?

HOPING for a scrum of buyers is Gerard O’Dea, the selling agent for No 13 Highfield Lawn, on Cork city’s suburban Model Farm Road.

VERY discreet and tucked away off the Model Farm Road, Highfield Lawn is not just the entrance driveway to the million-euro enclave, Court Cairn, but a desirable residential location in its own right.
