Absolutely bonkers

A lot of these ads look like sub-letting. Is this allowed in Ireland ?

With a child in the flat too, poor little guy, sounds like he doesn't even get his own room. :(:(:(

That's an IKEA Hemnes bed. You can pull it out and turn it into a double bed. Which means you can swing a cat during the day. Rents are really scary at the moment!

Looking for females only (Couples not accepted)

Is it ok to say this when renting out a room? I imagine there would be uproar if somebody asked for males only, females need not apply.

Well, if I were to let a room in my house and I was a single woman, would you expect me to take in male lodgers ?

That depends, is he a fabulous gay that gives amazing fashion tips or a straight male that's potentially a rapist ?

IMO you can pick whoever you want, just leave it out of the ad

anti-discrimination laws dont apply if you are renting a room from an owner-occupier.

Actually you get males only adverts too.
Nothing wrong with stating a preference to live with one gender or another. Occupiers right.

Do you think that living here all year round would be possible?

Amazing view from within that house but you'd be so bored living there all year around.

just love the directions to the house

DIRECTIONS:
Go to Magheraroarty Pier outside Gortahork and take a boat for Inishbofin. At the pier, turn right and the house is located down the lane on the left.

I wonder how many times a day that sails?

I could, but it is not for everyone.

There is never a need to be bored. There is walking, fishing... reading, writing, doing other creative stuff like painting or sketching, sewing, knitting, crocheting. Anything.
Get a dog, get a cat, get some hens, start a small garden.

I would love it but it would only really suit someone who could work from home.

As long as working from home didn't require high speed broadband.

Im from near there, and i didnt think there was a ferry at all - you need to find a local with a boat to take you in and out.

That island used to be uninhabited, has a few houses on it now, mainly holiday homes but i think a few people are on it year round

2 pictures of the outside, 11 computer generated images including one with a view of christchurch, howth and the central bank?? Nothing of what it is currently like inside (2 apts??) but it does come with full planning permission!

Only 450k!!! (Plus the additional wedge youd need to convert it)

If you can see the water from your back window you can bet that water will be in your house at some stage.

Looks like it has planning permission for the renovations to get it to look like the sketches.

Oh dear, better move out of my house then.:P
I suppose it would depend how much above sea level the house is. We haven't had flooding nor tidal surges. Sea level rise, yeah well, we've still a few meters for the sea to fill up more before we get to that problem.

By the way, it looks like there is a sound between the island and the mainland, the prevailing wind would not come from that side.

?? How much would you expect to pay for something like that? Large traditional cottage in a beautiful part of the country, people pay twice that for shoeboxes in Dublin...

what's that got to do with the price of holiday homes on isolated islands?

Only just heard of a bed share, that was going for 250 a month.

And somebody took it.
