Save your budget at Riversdale

IT is not such a long way to Tipperary for any relocating Department of Justice officials moving from Dublin – and, appropriately enough, those relocating to Tipp town are from the Department’s immigration and naturalisation services (INIS.)

When they do get to town they’ll find the curiously named village of Toem nearby (well, eight miles away), where their house hunting euros will go a far further distance than they would have done in the capital. Limerick junction is half-way between Toem and Tipperary town for rail users.

Young local builder Wayne O’Dwyer is building seven detached houses in Toem, in a scheme called Riversdale, with a choice of two types, of 1,900 and 1,950 sq ft, plus 300 sq ft garages, at selling prices from €335,000.
