Riverview House has links with United Irishmen

A SHANNONSIDE period home with strong links to the FitzGerald family and the Knights of Glin, as well as United Irishmen and literary associations, is up for sale at a price tag which even today sounds old fashioned.

A mile from Tarbert and its Shannon crossing ferry in Kerry, Riverview House was previously called Ballydonoghue House, and was part of the FitzGerald Estate.

It carries a €350,000 price guide, and although it needs a bit of an overhaul (best budget on a further €100,000 or so) will still be a fine comfortable home for future generations at a price city dwellers can only envy.
