    Anyone who was codded by all the glitz surrounding adverts for housing (indeed apartments/townhouses!) in the commuter belt really is an idiot. Remember the sales pitch about "just 30 minutes to Dublin", "all the benefits of living in the 'countryside'", "peace and tranquility". Some commuter land towns are so over-developed and crowded that west Dublin has become the new northside.

    Do you just try to scare people about property? First off what do you mean the new "Northside"? Secondly what means over-developed to you?

    Yes...I have been saying this for years....this city is to big and diverse to be just Northside and Southside.

    It seems that its within the commuter belt thus by extension assimmilated into "West Dublin" at least in the crazed minds of estate agents right now, frankly the property market is frightening at the moment imho.
