Risk of flood cut for 52 families

heart and soul of this wonderful home with interconnecting kitchen/dining and living room.

“There is a long hallway serving as a cloakroom and storage. There is a guest wc and large utility room. There are double doors leading to the garden from the kitchen.”

The singer has had quite some luck on the home front as two of his previous homes have also been snapped up. There was his dreamy lakeside retreat in Sligo that went on the market previously in 2021. The property located in Lahannah was reportedly built in the 1970s by an American pilot who flew an architect into the country to design it.

The home, which has stunning vistas of Lough Gill and its 16 islands, went on sale for €1.15m.

The ranch-style house includes everything from a wine room to a recording studio. He netted €1.455m when it sold just four months later in December 2021, The Irish Times adds.

Prior to that, the singer had listed his Dublin 4 home.

Located near Facebook in Ballsbridge, The Irish Times reports that he quietly sold it last year.

SOME fifty families and businesses that have been living with the risk and impact from flooding will now get the protection they need, after the launch of the Whitechurch Stream Flood Alleviation Scheme.

Mayor of South Dublin County Council, Cllr Emma Murphy and Minister of State with responsibility for the Office of Public Works, Patrick O’Donovan, were on hand to get construction of the scheme — which is the combined initiative of the Office of Public Works (OPW and South Dublin County Council — under way recently.

“This Scheme will make a real difference to some fifty families and businesses that live with the risk and impact from flooding in this community by protecting them against significant flooding, along St. Enda’s Park and Whitechurch Road,” Mr O’Donovan said.

“I want to thank the local community for its constructive and valuable engagement to the scheme’s design and its patience during the design and planning process.” he added.

The scheme is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. More: www.whitechurchfas.ie
