Get close to the point with this three-bed semi

THE long-awaited opening of Mahon Point last week saw traffic snarls all over the south city suburb with radio announcements asking shoppers not to go the new centre.

Developers O’Callaghan Properties are hoping the traffic chaos will abate as the novelty wears off, and so too do locals.

However, the advent of this new mall should see property prices rise in surrounding neighbourhoods. Susan Dunlea of Global Properties is offering a three-bed semi on the Skehard road in Cork for offers in the region of €265,000.
