MyHome.ie said the fall was the fastest quarterly decline in three years and resulted in the annual drop of 15.8% – to 219,000 euro nationally and €248,000 in Dublin.

However Daft.ie maintained the fall in the first quarter of 2012 was the smallest since the market began to collapse in 2007.

Denis O’Brien

The story so far:

Denis O’Brien owes Anglo hundreds of millions.

Siteserv owes Anglo €144 million.

Denis buys Siteserv debt-free for €45 million in cash.

Now?

A FRENCH company has claimed it was denied the opportunity to make an offer for Irish company Siteserv…The Altrad group, which owns companies in the same areas of business as Siteserv, said at the weekend that it had been prepared to offer €60 million for the Irish firm. But it was effectively denied the opportunity because its representative was told the Irish group was not for sale.

Also:

Yesterday, the Sunday Business Post reported that the underbidder for Siteserv is understood to have offered a higher price for the company. Sources said that Australian hedge fund Anchorage Capital had put more money on the table, but elements of the offer were considered less attractive then the O’Brien bid, the newspaper reported.

Oh.

A 1080 (three complete midair spins off a vertical jump) – something professional skateboarders have been trying and failing to land for years – has just been accomplished by Tom Schaar – a 12 year old kid from California.

The first official trailer for Len Wiseman’s Total Recall reboot is out.

It’s got the Farreller, major league VFX and plenty of nods to the Schwarzenegger original, but it’s hard to know what else to expect.

Except that it won’t be called ‘We can remember it for you wholesale’

Dublin Electro post-punk pioneers, Sounds of System Breakdown, have just released a free EP of remixes, featuring ‘little xs for eyes’ and The Gorgeous Colours, available here. Here’s a time-lapse of the making of the ep’s cover art (drawn by skinny-jeaned band member Rob Costello) to the strains of choon, ‘Kind Hearts’. Sweet.
