WHEN it comes to hot property, Kinsale is on fire right now, as Travis Knight, heir to the Nike fortune, rides into town, having sealed the deal on a waterfront home that cost upwards of €4.5m.

The award-winning American animator has swooped to claim a prized piece of Kinsale property, forking out the third highest sum for a home in the picturesque West Cork town since 2010.
