Green Shoots - How Michael Noonan ended the recession

What’s this red light district you speak of?

Smithfield

Irish rugby star Sean O’Brien said he can’t wait to start pulling pints in the new bar he’s due to open next month with three fellow internationals.

O’Brien, Jamie Heaslip, and brothers Rob and Dave Kearney have also revealed the new name of Bellamy’s pub in Ballsbridge will be The Bridge 1859.

“For all of us it was important to get a name that paid homage to the history of the building and the area,” said Heaslip.

“We feel that The Bridge 1859 captures both – we’re located in Ballsbridge, and the building was first used as a pub in 1859. We also wanted a name that was easy to roll off the tongue standing in the RDS or the Aviva - let’s go to The Bridge for one.”

They hope to welcome a scrum of customers from the end of September

“I’ve always been interested in owning a pub and now that is has become a reality, I can’t wait to get behind the bar and pull a few pints!” said O’Brien.

“I’m looking forward to chatting with customers and hearing their thoughts on the place."

:rolleyes:

Pull the other one Mac, it has bells on.

Fucking hell, maybe time to rent the spare room out and at those rents we could have the mortgage paid off in half the time

:confused:

The best part was the information that the rent was ‘only’ likely to go up by 100-150 euro per month in 2015.

Agree mate. A friend was onto me about looking for a two bed place but there’s not a hope of reasonable rent in a new lease at the moment. At least getting a room in a house share there’s still some alright places. Though the level if demand is massive. I had a look at another room recently, they left the ad up on daft for three days and got over 200 mails.

You’re fucked, glas. I rented out my gaff a while back and couldn’t believe the amount of interest in it. Gotta make yourself an attractive proposition as a tenant. Maybe pretend you have a decent job, you’ve a bird and a kid on the way. That way they’ll think you’re far too busy to party or give them shit.

Do us a solid and kick out the cunts. I promise I’ll not allow @Horsebox call round and make shit of the place.

It’s not what you’re looking for glas. Far too far out for a hipster like yourself. Although it has a good big kitchen press for giant deliveries of muesli.
