High living comes at top price

IT’S high living by any standards.

One of the largest and most expensive penthouse apartments to ever come on the Irish property market was launched in Dublin last night with a price tag of over €4.3m.

The penthouse, otherwise known as No 48 Adelaide Square, Dublin 8, is seen as the "pièce de résistance" in the 176-unit development on the site of the former Adelaide Hospital.
