Norris Secures Backing Of Halligan (Newstalk)

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgf_z99m5Ko#videoWalford, Shrewsbury Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. Purchased By Sean Dunne and Gayle Killilea for the record Irish price of €58 million in 2005.

It is being offered for sale by tender on October 27th with a guide price of €15 million – “just shy of 75 per cent below what it made six years ago,” as Iris Keating of Savills noted…

…Built in 1902, the Tudor-style Edwardian house was occupied by the same family, the Duggans, for 50 years prior to its spectacular sale in mid-2005. A brochure from that time shows that it was elegantly furnished and had two 18th-century marble fireplaces in the main reception rooms.

But the fireplaces were taken by thieves while Walford stood vacant for the past six years and there isn’t a stick of furniture in the house now. Black-and-white marble-effect linoleum in the entrance hall has gone too, leaving just the concrete floor, and all of the rooms have bare wooden floors and stripped walls; this is Bleak House.

Designers traditionally fill their text boxes and style sheets withy dummy Latin placeholder text, typically the nonsensical ‘Lorem Ipsum’.

But why bore everyone with that old muck when you can have some randomly generated, expletive-laden Samuel L. Jackson quotes?
