I’ve been pondering the Dublin “price rise” anomaly.

Yet… Dublin prices are apparently in a bubble:
How is this possible?
Easy – when volumes are so low, simply sell a couple of multi-million Euro properties and skew the data.
Taking the numbers for Dublin from the Property Price Register for “July 2011 – June 2012” and “July 2012 – June 2013”, we can match changes in sales volume to changes in sales value and see the almost perfect correlation (and the one obvious aberration!).
It’s only a bubble if you’re selling your multi-million Euro property!
Oh.

Not sure if anyone’s brought this piece in last Sunday’s Sindo to your attention already, but it reads like a Fortean Times press release, on speed. I work with an environmental NGO, and safe to say I’ve never heard of the potential of this awesome super incredible irradiated water. And what’s with that second last line (‘Intriguingly, chickens and sheep fed the energised water turned into giants…)?

The Little Museum of Dublin, on St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin, are having journalist and author Padraig Yeates and former Irish Independent, now Sunday Times columnist Kevin Myers (above) over to talk about the 1913 Lockout.
The museum people say:
“Kevin Myers will open with a controversial reappraisal of Strumpet City, this year’s One City One Book, long the definitive narrative of the events of 1913. Myers will argue that the book is ”the moral inspiration for the disaster that was the Croke Park deal,” in a blistering critique of the second most celebrated Dublin novel.
“Lockout: 1913 author, Yeates, will then revisit the industrial dispute that made William Martin Murphy and Big Jim Larkin household names, and changed Dublin irrevocably.”
Mr Myers will speak at 5.30pm and Mr Yeates will speak at 7pm.
