Take advantage of holiday homes

A HOLIDAY home scheme in pretty Sneem will give purchasers their days in the sun — it made the ‘transitional’ deadline for valuable tax breaks before the schemes were headed off at the pass.

Set in the award-wining village on the Ring of Kerry, the Sneem Leisure Village is a package of 17 self-catering holiday homes, to be run under Bord Failte auspices for a 10-year period, and with construction started and aimed at a 2005 summer completion with capital allowances available from this year.

The houses are all detached, with 14 x 1,140 sq ft three beds and three x 1,315 sq ft four beds. They’ll share access to a leisure suite with gym, steam room, sauna, and jacuzzi.
