Clancy Quay, Islandbridge, Dublin, yesterday.
On sale for €70 million.
Property developer David Kennedy had planned 700 apartments for the site, but only 60 per cent of those were ever built (with half of those currently occupied) before he went bust owing €240 million.
The development was built on the site of Clancy Barracks, named after Peadar Clancy, killed during the War of Independence, and was associated with the Crimean War, the Boer War, the First World War, and the 1916 Rising before being sold by the state.
Makes you proud.

German propaganda cards (via Ebay), part of the ‘England Robber-State’ series, detailing British abuses in Ireland. The first deals with the Famine, the second depicts a semi-naked Ireland on a crucifix bemoaning her fate. The cards appear to date from the Third Reich era but the illustrations used first appeared in 19th century French journals.
Gut times.
Look what they’ve Gonne and done.
