Tommy Barker reports on a rural, riverside and generously sized apartment on Kilmacsimon Quay.

The spec is as good as the setting at this imposing, modern family home above Kinsale, says Tommy Barker.

The 42-year-old’s trial was in its sixth day at the Central Criminal Court.

A murder trial has heard that a man, whose body was found in the River Bandon, died due to ligature strangulation.

The body of a man taken from the River Bandon in suspicious circumstances had black flex and lace around his neck, a Central Criminal Court jury has heard.

Tommy Barker discovers a haven in a stunningly picturesque location yet on a city’s doorstep.

“A highy sought-after area” is how Bandon-based auctioneer Brendan Bowe describes a 20-acre non-residential holding in the townland of Kilbeg.

THE mission for the purchasers of Hollyhill House near Kinsale (should they choose to accept it,) is to seek out and rediscover the long-lost secret passage under the property.

There’s a very good specification to the three-bed semi d, 8 Ard Aoibhinn, above pretty Innishannon village on the Cork-west Cork route, and now back in favour as a commuter community for families given its easy proximity back to the city.

Younger people are more influenced by social media, their parents should be aware.

A new year, but sadly, the same old story for homes and businesses threatened by flooding in parts of Cork.

These are the scences in Cork as an orange weather alert is issued.

What a setting — it’s been sought-after, for 800 years or so.

You’ll feel like the king of the castle in this quality home, says Tommy Barker.

An angled hall and corridor links the two rectangular blocks of this four-bed family home called Rhiannon, a mile or two south of Innishannon, and about a 20-minute drive west from Cork city.

TWO big Kinsale offers come to market independently this week for receivers — one being 95 acres of spectacularly-sited land at Pregane, next to where a €200m golf resort development was proposed a decade ago.

The setting alone of this house - called Tearmann, after the Irish word for a place of sanctuary and built to passive house standards - encourages a bit of indolence: there’s little as calming as lolling by water.

Come November/December, typically there are very few houses (especially those with high price aspirations, or in the country homes market) come for sale. 

Only the quality, and colour, of the front door, at the Old Post Office in Cork’s Dunderrow near Kinsale gives any hint there might be something a bit special within, at this cottage/bungalow extended home,a converted Post Office.

ALONG and bustling history comes with Riverbank House and Quay, a River Bandon-set home that gives its owners the chance to sail the seven seas — if they start off leaving on a high tide.

American tourist Sandy O’Neill Barnes and her family ‘blindly’ drank Ireland’s best-known porters. Guess which one they preferred? asks Louise Roseingrave

A RIVER flowing through a town should, you might expect, be seen as an advantage — not only for its beauty and environmental value, but also for very practical reasons.

A pathologist who observed a complex of multiple injuries on the body of a dead man found tied up in the River Bandon said it was very unlikely a person acting alone could have tied up and disposed of the body.

The body of a man was found in the Bandon River tied with cable and the belt from a cardigan and rolled up in a carpet, a jury was told yesterday as a 39-year-old man went on trial for murder.

There’s a crisp, clean interior to the three-storey townhouse right on Main Street, Innishannon — and the price guide is just as appealing.

We hope she’ll never see the light of day again and be allowed to torture another family like she’s tortured ours.

A 37-year-old Cork mother-of-three has been sentenced to life in prison for murder for a second time this year.

A woman in jail for murder has received another life sentence for killing John Forrester whose body was found trussed up with cable ties in the River Bandon, two years ago.

This one-off design has both the design attributes and eco-friendliness to attract plenty of interest, writes Tommy Barker

Despite a guide of €2.25m, this trophy property in Kinsale is well-placed to draw international interest, Tommy Barker reports

The pilot of a microlight that suffered substantial damage after hitting an electric fence in West Cork on Apr 6 last did not have a permit to fly in Ireland.

Three years after the flood that devastated Bandon in Nov 2009, the town was once again on alert yesterday for serious flooding.

A luxury holiday home linked to Ireland’s highest-paid university president is up for rent — for a cool €2,000 a week.

ARDBRACK, KINSALE €495,000

Courtmacsherry in West Cork has seen plenty of blue shark about this month.
