St Bronach’s better value beats them all at this price

THE Dunne family, of Dunnes Stores fame, know a good pitch when they see it — and that’s way they put their eye on St Bronach’s corner site many moons ago.

The Dunne family home was in Browningstown in Douglas, Cork, in the early days of Ben senior's empire. One of his daughters, never in the public eye, subsequently bought this nearby home and called it St Bronach's.

It was, however, rarely lived in and changed practically not at all up until last year when it changed hands.
