    Hi there,
    I am about to buy a lovely apartment in Cork City Centre. The apartment is huge, almost 120 square meters and will be fixed to nice standards. However, all my colleagues and friends tell me I am crazy to buy an apartment because in Ireland nobody buys apartments and I will never be able to resell it, no matter how lovely the apt is. Since I am not irish, this makes me worry that I am walking into a horrible investment and even though I have no current plan of leaving you never know in the future! Is it true that apartments are impossible to sell even though right in the city centre of the 2nd major city in Ireland and even though it is a nice big place? Any advise would be great, thank you!
