AH YES, IT’S flat-hunting time again for the new batch of college students.
What are the chances that they could afford this gaff though? It’s slap-bang in the middle of Grafton Street, has a private lift, two bedrooms, three bathrooms and views of Trinity College. It does, however, cost €6,000 a month to rent (short-term let).
It’s the most expensive apartment to rent on property website Daft.ie at the moment – but not the most expensive rental property. That accolade might fall to this €15k-a-month house in Dublin 4 one or this one in Dalkey for €8k (swimming pool included, natch, and formerly Eddie Irvine’s crash pad).

“O’Gorman has written to a number of religious orders involved in running the institutions, asking them to contribute to the fund”
Why is he “asking” them? He should be mandating to them that they must pay
@SkylineSi: he has no legal power to force them to pay.
@Brendan Greene: “he has no legal power to force them to pay.”
He doesn’t but that’s why we have a court/justice system.
Surely their responsibility is beyond question. It’s just a matter of what their share of redress should be.
@SkylineSi: Back then adoption was not being talked of as a crime but as the best option for both the deserted mother and child. The volunteers in the orders had already done their work assisting the disowned with their complicated needs.
The community run institutions(Ireland’s population was 95% Catholic) did their best to help these SURVIVORS of impregnation and desertions by men before the state stepped forward with an allowance for them.
This has been going on too long now. Asking the church to contribute to the fund !? It’s shocking they must be ‘asked’
have your say
