Douglas Newman Goode (DNG) agent Brian Dempsey told the Irish Independent in reference to the volume of prospective buyers at a house viewing of a four-bed semi in Glenomena Grove, Booterstown;

“”I haven’t seen anything like that since 2006.”

 

Dempsey adds further;

“People are [now] coming to us with huge wads of cash – 20pc to 40pc of the money in cash for a €500,000 house.”

Wads.

Any excuse.

Leading Portuguese club Sporting Club de Lisbon have been serenading their team with their version of the Fields of Athenry. They’re the new greatest supporters in the world.

 

Altogether…

Tu vais vencer,
Podes crer Porque a nossa força é brutal
Mais de um século de histórias para contar
Sporting, tu nunca vais acabar”

(You’re going to win, you better believe it,
because our strength is Brutal!
More than a century of history to be told.
Sporting, you’ll never end!)

Yikes.

“I’ve not had a chance to check my Twitter, other than the followers have gone through the roof, which is strange and nice at the same time I guess. It could be a hectic next few days I think..”
