Back when Cork’s Courtwood was being finished off in 2008, the Irish property market had started its price plummet, and its initial hopes of sale figures from €850,000 to over €1 million bit the dust.

Now, not only has the market picked itself up off the floor, with prices in Dublin and Cork cities and suburbs well into recovery mode after a 50% slump from peak since 2007, but in the interim, all roads leading to Courtwood seem to have improved too.
