From coffee giant closures and facility expansions to Dublin house prices slowing down, here’s what’s been happening and how it could affect your house hunting journey.
A Starbucks in Cork city centre has shut down following a planning feud between its owners and the local council.
The Patrick Street store opened three years ago, without proper planning permission, which led to its owners being warned to shut the café a number of times.
Troy Studios has lodged plans to develop a fourth sound stage, which would make the Limerick production facility the largest film and television studio in Ireland.
To date, the firm behind the production facility has spent €6.5 million to create the 32,000 sq m hub. The Limerick studio is a sister operation of Wicklow-based Ardmore Studios.
Aer Lingus is spending millions of euro on a new facility near Dublin Airport that will train cabin crew.
Chief executive Stephen Kavanagh confirmed that the IAG-owned carrier is disposing of its existing flight simulator as part of an investment in a 4,500 sq m training facility.
A new study has found that the Central Bank’s mortgage lending restrictions are putting a stop to house price inflation in Dublin and beyond.
The report from the Real Estate Alliance (REA) found that the price of a three-bed semi in Dublin has increased by just 2.7% in the last year. For average prices across a range of house types, readers can check out the most recent Daft House Price Report.
A €30 million housing development in Blackpool was given the green light by Cork City Council this week according to the Evening Echo. Proposals for 112 homes on Thomas Davis Street are now set to move ahead following their approval.

If I were the iranian delegation I wouldn’t give an inch until the talks become all inclusive. How is it that Israel, the greatest threat to regional and world peace, has a carte blanche to develop and maintain a nuclear arsenal and Iran can’t even develop a civilian nuclear programme.
because Israel are big allies with the US
i think he knows that aaron,it was more rhetorical !!
Nothing Controversial about their ‘Nuclear’ ambitions, Pakistan have nukes (I’d be far more concerned here but they are (were) a former ally of Uncle Sam and no threat to Israel) India have Nuclear arms, Israel have nuclear arms so why not Iran?
I don’t see how increasing the amount of countries with nuclear arms can be a good thing whatever their motive.
If they want nuclear power all well and good but do we really want a world where this kind of thing is not carefully controlled and policed?
Over 2,000 nuclear bombs have been detonated to date by countries such such as the US, France, UK etc. Why is it that they are allowed to keep their nuclear weapons?They have shown themselves to be irresponsible. Iran has repeatedly said it will not go after nuclear weapons and it has not detonated a single one.
There are persistent reports of late of Pakistan helping Saudi Arabia to acquire nuclear weapons. There is no mention of this in the corporate media. Let’s also bear in mind that the US actively helped Pakistan acquire nuclear weapons and turned a blind eye to Pakistan to helping North Korea with its nuclear weapons programme. So there are precedents.
There have been many proposals to date which the US gave repeatedly rejected to have all of the Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction but the US has repeatedly stood by Israel.
Let’s have a little objectivity in the reporting.
Well said Horgay. As for increasing the number of nuclear weapons, no one even suggested that. Iran is playing brinkmanship, hoping to get a level playing field, one based on a nuclear free middle esst. Good for them, at least someone in the region is being pragmatic.
As long as the AIPAC is still a strong voice in congress agreement will be very hard to reach.
They know no nuclear nation has ever been invaded by another. Yet the don’t speak about Israeli bombs and the disregard to international treaties and law it consistently shows
It means nothing to me!
Obviously not fans of vltravox.
have your say
