Post Recession Tiger Largesse and Excess

Would that include a Belfast sink?

It would, although the sink itself may not be “quite” the one you’re alluding to. We’ll it’s unlikely, given they’re costing under the €100….You the the score yourself…:wink:

While I’m here - commiserations on the football yesterday.

What kind of monster puts a sink in an island?

Which idiot on here paid sixteen quid for a bottle of air in the last boom?

Mobile home for sale in Potters Point in Brittas Bay. 350,000 and 13k a year management fee. Your 350k gets you a 12 year lease.

And likely only 6 months a year access to it

Mobile homes, shudder

Wtf is the logic in that?
You’d buy a full on holiday house for that.

Fuck that shit! that’s €250 a week in fees!!

It’s a very peculiar place. That mobile home park is probably the snobbiest place in Ireland.

There’s a lot of notions.

You would literally down the road. Here’s the article

I know some people love it, but I couldn’t think of anything worse than a summer in a caravan park, nevermind paying that kind of money for the “privilege”

Fair whiff of boom around the place these days

This is apparently rife. Met a couple of lads from Donegal a while back. One of them owns a caravan park. The money was insane. Fees for renting the pitch. Fees for getting a home off the site if you wanted to. Fees for getting one onto it. In general he controlled sales onsite of homes and got a cut off both parties. Renting out your home when you’re not around. Like renting your gaff off a kinehan. And getting screwed accordingly.

A full summer in the same park also seems like hell to me, touring in a caravan is a great way to spend a good part of the summer though, I wouldn’t have a word said against it :grinning:

Wow…

This sums it up completely, I don’t think many Ukrainians will be getting a lookin here for a bed

“It’s ALL about having the RIGHT mobile and in the RIGHT park where the RIGHT crowd mingles. It’s more like gaining entry to a very prestigious golf club or a beach club rather than actually buying property.

"It’s about who your kids will be mixing with when you let them off for the day. The families move here for the whole summer and the Dads come down from Dublin at the weekends. It’s just an hour down the road.”

The people inside them think they are snobby but in fact if you go to the Limerick enclaves in west clare what you will find is they are people who moved out of working class areas to a more rural setting sonow believe they are snobby.

Old money has holiday homes
