smodgley · 28-09-2008 6:06pm

id like this place lol

Dilbert75 · 29-09-2008 8:55pm

TBH I can't see anyone paying that, especially to open it as a hotel. Whatever about the condition of the place or the land its on, you'd be plagued with sightseers coming to have a free look. I'd have thought it'd be unusual that this type of visitor would provide big custom to any business. And its not as if there's anything to the story....

after all, to me the story suggests the young wan got up the Damien by some guy they took in for the night. Wasn't socially acceptable so they found an excuse to lock her away ("she went mad") and yer man was long gone.

Agree with you re the young one..but that was in an earlier house anyhow, so if it was the devil

the house is long gone..

capedcrustacian · 02-10-2008 10:52am

so hang on, if it's for sale, then people can view it again yeah? I mean, actually get in around the grounds and the house itself??

Araniell · 18-10-2008 11:13am

Any word on who bought it?

maisymarshall · 20-10-2008 10:47pm

Heard that there was a lot of interest and offers but no sale as such from the auctions someone on Flicker knew someone at the auction and that was the crack? Nothing in any local news?

According to the Enniscorthy Guardian (22/10/08) the house failed to sell at auction. The Auctioneers started the bidding at 1.8 million Euros but with no bids it dropped to 1 million and still with no bids it was witdrawn. According to the paper it was sold to a commercial interest after the auction for an undisclosed sum. I wish them luck with this pile as it is in poor condition and with a glut of hotels it is hard to see what they can do with it.:)

Dilbert75 · 22-10-2008 11:09pm

If the rumours of the identity of the buyer are true, I doubt he'll be turning it into a hotel. Not a paying hotel anyway, maybe for all his megastar friends and international leaders. Allegedly.:cool:

Dilbert75 · 23-10-2008 10:41pm

Like sam_mom1 said... Allegedly.

minxie · 31-10-2008 12:32pm

Shame to see the place in such a state. Let's hope whoever bought it will restore it and not gut it and replace with chrome and plastic

minxie · 22-11-2008 7:18pm

ArthurGuinness · 22-11-2008 7:50pm
