world wide madness

Three posts in one day, things are gone mad!! What with all the activity around property that has driven the country mad over the last ten years or so, it is interesting to see an article in the Leader as to how some of the locals are spending loads of money abroad. They have probably realised that things are gone too dear here to make anything but a total killing so have gone to pastures new! Meanwhile back on Henry Street people will have noticed that since last friday, builders have been tearing down the old Savoy building. (will have a photo to upload soon) Old being meant as a bit of a pun as it was only finished back in 1990!! A 15 year lifespan for a building could be classified in the "not great" category. I wonder will some of the apartments down in Steamboat quay last that long??



It looks like they have counted all the euro from the   JP McManus Invitational Pro-am and charity auction in Adare and wound up with the nice round figure of having raised €30 million for local charities. Very impressive indeed! Nice to see that it did Tiger Woods preparation for the Open no harm as he won major number ten at the weekend. Maybe he should come to Limerick more often!
And just to finish the sago over the Mayors job down in city hall, Diarmuid Scully has been de whipped by Fine Gael as a result of the events that happened in the lead up to the job being decided on.
