Does anyone else get the feeling that the articles in the property supplements are, in most cases, just a re-hash of the developers/ auctioneers/ estate agents advertising blurbs??

Absolutely. You see this all the time in the various property supplements. But I’ve never seen it presented in such unashamed glowing tones as above.…you have to ask what kind of schmucks do the Irish Indo Property Supplement have writing for them?

Sue, the villages of Ireland are covered in these kind of mock-period estates tacked onto the edges of them…. As Phil said it’s what people want. But they result indirectly in destruction of real heritage, they don’t knit into the existing village structure, they are (to many) a visual blight and they are designed as car-dependent commuter housing to a town or city maybe 50 miles away, thus contributing to congestion, poor air quality and ozone-depleting emissions.
