Take 4: Homes for every budget around Ireland

Here is our pick of properties from €250,000… up to €1 million.

GETTING INTO THE property market can be a daunting experience. Here we try and make it a bit easier – and bring you four of the best properties on the market around the country this week.

Under €250,000

Galway, Tuam  - €205,000 

This rather grand four-bedroomed house in Galway was built in 1986 and offers abundant space for its modest pricetag.

In its description it is also specified that its garage is available for conversion.

While low prices on properties can often ring alarm bells – this home’s description promises that “internally the property is maintained in excellent order and is easily heated”.

Tuam 4 daft.ie daft.ie

Under €500,000

Dublin, Lusk – €389,000

This spacious bungalow in Co Dublin sits in half an acre of its own grounds and could appeal to a growing family.

The property has easy access to all of the required amenities in Lusk, Skerries, Swords and Rush and is less than an hour’s drive from the centre of Dublin city.

Coming with a modern finish, the home should be easy to heat, with underfloor heating and double-glazed windows throughout.

Under €750,000

Cork, Kinsale – €650,000

This is a pretty unique home and will appeal to those looking for something a little bit different.

The Captain’s Terrace, in Kinsale, Co Cork, is a semi-detached four bedroom home that is ideal for anyone who has ever dreamed of living by the sea. The three-story cottage is almost 2,000 sq. ft. and has impressive views of Kinsale Harbour.

Inside it has been throughly renovated with hardwood floors in the living areas and carpeted areas in the bedrooms.

Under €1 million

Cork, Castletownshend – €980,000

This three-story walled townhouse in Cork comes with its own walled garden and looks out over the County’s coastline.

The Georgian home was once owned by Edith Somerville, who was an author of some note in Victoria-era Ireland.

It is said to be in a good location for both easy access to the city centre and the Cork airport.

    A Zionist from Canada can migrate tomorrow to Palestine, and have the right to vote, coming from a big land with just 30 million people begging for immigrants to fill the empty land, while a Palestinian can not enter Palestine and visit the villigage where his father was born because the village is a settlement now.

    @mwalid: Nonsense. Why are Palestinians refugees because the surrounding Arab states left them in camps to use as pawns against Israel.
    Imagine if after India-Pakistan or Greece-Turkey the displaced people had been left in camps for generations.
    Why are Palestinians the ONLY people in the globe who can pass refugee status down the generations. It makes a mockery of the term refugees.
    When Israel was established over 850,000 Jews were expelled from Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia & Morocco. They fled to Israel, they were not left in camps to gain sympathy from the world generations later, they were integrated into society & now constitute the majority of Israeli Jews. They have no rout of return, they have no rights to house, properties or businesses they had to leave behind.

I was in the exact spot where this “major protest” was supposedly going on and I can hand on heart say, there was NOTHING going on. It was quiet. The media has a lot to answer for and they thrive on “misinformation” and blatantly making up “stuff” to sell more papers. Up until I had this experience IN the actual country I too would have believed everything I read, I now don’t. I am very dubious about this “ban” happening the way we are being told it has.

    Similarly, the reason many Palestinians are against a two state solution and want the destruction of Israel as a state is because they believe they are entitled to their holy land under the banner of Allah.

There are even metal detectors at the Vatican…. there shouldn’t be a need for metal detectors, but unfortunately terrorist exist, and people pay taxes to their state and expect the state to keep them safe! If a little inconvenient metal director is going to keep me alive, I welcome it. Where is the outrage from the Palestinians condemning the terrorists? The Israeli police officers weren’t even Jews.

    @Craig Barry: What genocide? The situation in the Palestinian territories cannot stand a comparison with what happened in the concentrations camps of the Nazis, the killing fields of the Khmer Rouge, the savage machete rampage in Rwanda, the mass graves of Srebrenica or the Al-Anfal chemical annihilation campaign.

    @Honeybadger197: Exactly right. I am personally strongly opposed to Israeli settlement building/land grabbing. However, I would never describe what Israel has done to the Palestinians as a genocide. That word is reserved for the attempted mass slaughter and eradication of a people, which simply isn’t what Israel is doing to anyone.

    Look at the number of Palestinians living in Israel that aren’t in danger of being murdered and stay willingly – would that have happened to Jews in Nazi Germany? Would it have happened to Iraqi Kurds in Saddam’s Iraq? Then there’s the obvious difference in numbers.

    The use of the word genocide has a very specific meaning and those who apply it to this conflict can be easily dismissed as people who don’t know what they’re talking about.

    @Malachi & honey badger…Israel’s systematic targeting of Palestinians since 1947 has been referred to as “incremental genocide” – a term used by historian Ilan Pappe and echoed by Michael Ratner, a human rights lawyer and CCR’s former president, who died earlier this year. “It’s been going on for a long time, the killings, the incredibly awful conditions of life,” Ratner said during Israel’s assault on Gaza in July 2014, referring to the expulsions of Palestinians from hundreds of towns and villages starting in 1947.

    @Craig Barry: That term seems like it has been generated out of thin air to suit the genocide narrative being built here. It’s just a fact that no genocide is taking place, making up new genocide terms where you set the definition is just silly; genocide has a very specific definition under international law which is why it is such a serious accusation to make without substance.

    @Rowe: Jews lived everywhere in the Arab word especially in Yemen and North Africa, as the Jews of Spain decided to move with Protector Muslims after the fall of Alandalus (Spain), the problem was not with Jews but with Zionists,

    For the people saying that the 2 guards were protecting the mosque, the mosque got its own security run by Jordan. The occupying forces can claim that they are just there to protect your house but you just want them out of your house.

    A usual, all the embedded Hasbara apologists for Apartheid Israel are the first on line to spout their tired propaganda.

    Israel is an Apartheid repressive rogue State and all decent people can see it.
    The only peaceful non-violent way to express our disgust f at the way they treat the Palestinian people is by B.D.S. It worked against Apartheid South Africa.

    I would urge anybody with a sense of outrage at Apartheid Israel to check out the B.D.S. site for an objective picture of how the indigenous Palestinian are treated.

    @Peter Higgins: “It worked against Apartheid South Africa.” No, it didn’t. 1. BDS was never applied to South Africa. There were boycotts, and to a degree they worked. But dialogue was encouraged which is what got de Clerk and the establishment talking with the ANC. BDS prevents dialogue between Israelis and the rest of the world. 2. The boycotts of South Africa were painfully slow. They started in the mid-1950s and took 40 years to work. Your solution would probably guarantee the status quo for a min. 40 years. Considering the US will never leave Israel’s side, the only people who will suffer from BDS are the Palestinians. Boycotts also had the support of the majority of SA’s black community. BDS is rejected by the majority of Palestinians, including Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

    @Honeybadger197: I would assume it to be a form of protest , if you think what the Israeli’s are doing in general is OK and their current policies will work for both sides long term then you don’t take part , if however you think differently and don’t think the rest of the world is doing their part well then get involved with this, the aim of it would be to help get a just resolution for both sides ,

    So tensions have risen after Israeli police installed metal detectors at entrances to the Haram al-Sharif mosque compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, following an attack nearby that killed two policemen. From the Arab media -allow me to translate: “I’m outraged! -how the hell are my boys supposed to stab and shoot Jews with these things around?! This is an infringement of our human rights. We need another UN resolution!”
