Old and new combine

ONE OF four clearly defined property hotspots in Limerick, O'Connell Avenue, along with the North and South Circular and the Ennis Road, brings out the bidders.

And that's what Gillian Dunne of Sherry FitzGerald is hoping for the forthcoming auction of No. 1, Mount Vincent, O'Connell avenue, which comes with a guide price of €440,000.

Which gives house-buyers less than a month to get organised, but it does concentrate the mind, says Ms Dunne.
