Address: 51 St Gabriel’s, Cabinteely, Co DublinPrice: €1,050,000 Agent: Sherry FitzGerald View this property on MyHome.ie Houses such as 51 St Gabriel’s in Cabinteely must be an estate agent’s dream to sell a result of constant upgrading and maintenance over the years since its current owners purchased the house in 2014 It appears on the Property Price Register as having sold back then for €673,000 while there is also the sum of €30,000 on the register from 2024 Extending to 194sq m (1,937sq ft) and spanning three floors it is within a desirable cul-de-sac of homes Back when this scheme by Shannon Development was launched in late 1999 it was one of the most expensive developments in south Dublin 15 of these houses had already been sold and were already occupied improvements saw the front driveway widened to accommodate a second car – as many neighbours have also done It now has smart granite stone framing a gravelled driveway the front hall gives an indication of its excellent condition with on-trend panelling stretching from floor to ceiling Both reception rooms – used as living and family rooms – used to open into each other Owners decided to install a wall here to allow two private spaces in addition to the large open-plan kitchen and diningroom to the rear This will suit those with growing families; a place for a bit of peace for adults or indeed a place for teenagers to have their own private space The second room – closest to the kitchen – now has a full wall of bespoke built-in units for a television and other media devices [ Elegant Eglinton Road home in immaculate condition for €2.95mOpens in new window ] Reclaimed parquet flooring sourced from Wilson’s Yard in Co Down now runs throughout the reception rooms – one of which has a new wood-burning stove insert – with new porcelain tiles laid in the kitchen, which helps to bounce light through the room. Set to the rear, the kitchen – in a pale pastel pink hue – now has extra cabinetry and a new wooden countertop. Centred by a Rangemaster double oven with a five gas hob, it has integrated Fisher & Paykel appliances and a Belfast sink. Upstairs, five bedrooms lie over two floors with the principal occupying the entire second floor. It’s very spacious and has the benefit of an en suite and a walk-in dressingroom. The en suite has a fine walk-in shower. The property has three bathrooms, all of which have recently been upgraded, so will accommodate the needs of a growing family. One of the highlights of the house, besides its condition, off-street parking and location, is its back garden. Though not large, it has been beautifully landscaped with the use of slate, granite and river pebbles and is bordered by high walls covered in creepers. It is low-maintenance, has a good westerly orientation and works well as an entertaining space as it is accessed from the kitchen. Its location is another reason houses in the development were so popular when they first launched, and still remains a strong selling point today. It is within walking distance of Cabinteely village, offering a range of restaurants, excellent schools and nearby parks. Cornelscourt shopping centre is just up the road, and the property has easy access to the quality bus corridor that provides quick connections to the city centre. The B3-rated house is now on the market through Sherry FitzGerald, seeking €1.05 million.

Lot 1, known as Druid’s Glen, comprises 8.8 acres of residential development land and 11.1 acres of forestry land. It is occupied by three houses at present, namely Glendruid House, a protected structure, Druid House and Knockanree House. Lot 2, known as Lehaunstown, consists of 9.5 acres of residential development land, with a small portion zoned for town-centre use under the Cherrywood Strategic Development Zone. This would facilitate about 600sq m of commercial space. The site is bound by a narrow laneway to the south, the Luas green line to the west, and vacant land to the east and north. The northern section of the site will in future be bound by a proposed road linking the N11 with the suburbs of Foxrock and Cabinteely.

Kilbogget Park now stands as a hub for health and well-being with these facilities contributing significantly to the local area's sports landscape We would like to thank the Department of Tourism Sport and Media and the Sports Capital Unit for their support and part funding of the pitches and running track.  died peacefully after a short illness on 27th September at home in Freshford He will be deeply missed by his wife Maureen three siblings and his extended family and friends The family will be holding a memorial service at 2pm on Saturday 16 November In lieu of flowers, please, donations to Dorothy House Hospice Carehttps://www.dorothyhouse.org.uk/support-us/donate/ A FOXROCK RUGBY club has claimed the sale of a five-acre playing field to a local GAA club looks like an attempt to “stamp out underage rugby in Foxrock/Cabinteely in order to grow” Gaelic Games That’s despite the Geraldines P Moran GAA club stating that the deal involves an agreement that other sporting clubs will continue to have the same access to the playing fields Last week, Geraldines P Moran, known as “the Gers”, announced that it had reached an agreement with Foxrock Parish to purchase the Foxrock Parish Sports Fields which is located next to the Dunnes Stores in Cornelscourt The site was purchased by the Foxrock Catholic Parish in 1959 and was made available The Gers said last week that its deal to buy the site “ensures continued access for the next 999 years for all other current users of the Cornelscourt grounds” “All users will benefit from the much-needed enhancements and improvements that will be delivered in the coming years,” the statement added Brigid’s Rugby Club has called on the Catholic Church to stop the sale and said it is “seriously concerned that the GAA is attempting to impose conditions that are in breach of equality legislation” Brigid’s Rugby Club has around 160 members between the ages of 5 and 13 years and was founded in 1976 The rugby club said it is “deeply concerned” about the “secret nature” of the proposed sale and that Foxrock Parish has “precluded” the rugby club from the process St Brigid’s Rugby Club also claimed that Foxrock Parish is “demanding” that the rugby club “sign a letter confirming that all future use of the field is at the behest of the GAA club” said the club was “kept completely in the dark until the sale of the parish sports field was announced and we are no longer playing on a level playing field” He added that this has “undermined the trust co-operation and community spirit that has existed between the two clubs for almost 50 years” Cassidy said he had met with Foxrock Parish and “requested them to stop this sale to maintain the status quo and diocesan trust which guarantees equitable access to the grounds” “Their decision to favour one sport over another is clearly unfair and it must be overturned,” said Cassidy who added that “it appears as if they want to stamp out underage rugby in Foxrock/Cabinteely in order to grow their own sport” He also called on voting members of the Gers to “vote with their conscience to reject this sale” In a statement four days ago, the Gers said it is aware of comments that the club is “attempting to lessen or terminate St Brigid’s Rugby Clubs’ usage of the grounds” It said that written into the deal is an agreement that the GAA club will permit current users to have the same access to the playing fields as they currently have once the deal is concluded said a redacted version of this agreement was shared with the rugby club and that “they were asked to revert to the legal advisers of the Parish by today (26 July) to explain how it does not protect their usage” the Gers said St Brigid’s had yet to reply “When the rugby club’s legal advisers revert to the Parish with their feedback on the side agreement the Geraldines are happy to meet to address any concerns,” said the Gers in its 26 July statement It added: “Our club is enriched by having members and coaches who operate in both clubs and we believe that this will continue well into the future with the further benefit of improving sports facilities in Cornelscourt.” Access to the comments facility has been disabled for this user Anne Harrison (née Killeen) of Cabinteely and formerly of Beaumont Road, Dublin passed away peacefully on July 28th, 2024, surrounded by the love and care of her devoted family and the wonderful staff at St. Joseph’s, Shankill.

Number 15 was purchased by Niamh McHenry, who ran property staging company Ready for Sale until 2019, and has now moved into interior design. Her home, despite being 23 years old – with the exception of the tiles in the kitchen and conservatory – looks brand new. The front brick exterior with tall windows framed in contrasting stonework and a veranda-style porch has aged well and is testament to good design. The property has four reception rooms: a family room to the front, opposite a large livingroom that opens into the diningroom (with new access to the kitchen). There is also a sunroom to the rear, opposite the eat-in kitchen. When McHenry arrived to number 15, she and her partner had a two-year-old and now, with three adult children and two dogs, they are off to realise their dreams with the renovation of an old barn and farmhouse in Co Wexford. “I think Covid re-educated us about working from home, and this farmhouse has been a lifelong dream,” she says. Of number 15 she says: “It’s a real family home at St Gabriel’s and has been a fantastic place to raise kids. As it’s in a safe cul-de-sac, children were always running in and out of the house – like the old-fashioned way to grow up – and the children’s friends still call over after all these years.” The property is close to numerous schools such as Loreto and Hollypark in Foxrock, while there are lots of sports and recreational facilities nearby. With a Ber of B3, the detached house is in walk-in condition, with double side access and new carpets. It is on the market through estate agent Vincent Finnegan, seeking €1.15 million. Nov 8, 2021 | News Freeview, Soccer There are reports this morning that Bray Wanderers and Cabinteely FC are in discussion over a potential merger Cabinteely FC was founded as a community club with a strong underage structure It moved to form a League of Ireland club in 2015 as a response to the creation of national underage Leagues that would be tied into the academy structures of clubs playing at the top level of the domestic game Led by entertainment entrepreneur Larry Bass as Chair the structure was such that the Adult Club was managed and maintained separately to the community one with the latter having prominence This was to avoid the risk of overreach in the League of Ireland toppling the club away from its strong base The clubhouse and community pitches are in Kilbogget Park in South Dublin which they share with Seapoint Rugby Club and Foxrock Cabinteely LGFA Club The pitches are owned by and leased from Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and the club has thrived at underage level and in areas of inclusion and promotion of the girl’s game In order to play in the League of Ireland though a stadium was required and the short term fix was to rent matchdays from Blackrock College Rugby Football Club only a few kilometres away The hinterland for the club is large with Shamrock Rovers well to the west and St Pats to the North The southern boundary of football influence is at Bray Wanderers and that is where the seeds of a potential merger seem to have taken hold Bray’s underage relationship has traditionally been with St Joseph’s in Sallynoggin long regarded as one of the premier academy style clubs and a long time local rival of Cabinteely Rivalries can change though over time and the logic of a ground share between Bray who own the Carlisle Grounds in the centre of Bray and Cabinteely makes a lot of sense If Shelbourne and Bohemian can do it in the new Dalymount Park then others would be likely to look closely as well It seems now though as if the ground share might have developed into something more with a full merger on the cards Bray’s main shareholder is Niall O’Driscoll who took over the club in 2018 and he is said to be leading the talks with Tony Richardson of Cabinteely With applications due shortly for licensing to play in the 2022 season this is unlikely to go through before then but could be a development to watch in 2023 In a post covid world there will likely be further discussion over the make-up of the SSE Airtricity League in a stronger position now than for a number of years and also the possibility still of an island of Ireland League The interest in Irish domestic soccer always extends well beyond the 90 minutes of a match Neither club has made any public comment on the potential of a merger Download our latest membership brochure here. Designed by Elegant Themes | Powered by WordPress Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is to pay up to €2 million a year to lease a block of 81 apartments for social housing at Beechpark, Cabinteely, in south Dublin. The newly-built development, just beyond the turning for Cabinteely village on the N11, comprises about 240 units in a mix of houses and apartments. A spokesman for the council said it would lease 81 apartments in total, made up of 15 one-bed and 66 two-bed apartments. The properties will be allocated to families and individuals who are on the council’s housing waiting list. The council will lease the apartments from Irish property investor Ardstone, which acquired about 140 apartments at the development for €66 million, or about €471,000 each, earlier this year. It’s understood that the second block of apartments will also be rented, to a mix of social and private tenants. Investor Ardstone has plans to grow its social and affordable housing fund to about €1 billion by the end of this year. A spokesman for the council said that a long-term lease of 25 years for 81 units at the development has been agreed under the enhanced leasing scheme. Constructed by O’Flynn Group, Beechpark was launched in November 2019, with the homes sold to private owners. Prices for the homes started at €535,000 for three-bed terraced homes, rising to €770,000 for four-bed homes. Now residents who bought homes in the development fear the new lease agreement on the apartment block will lead to an “oversaturation” of social housing. Speaking to The Irish Times, two home owners in the development note that given that a further 14 houses may be allocated to the council under Part V obligations, this would bring the proportion of social housing at the development to 41 per cent, a figure which they say is “extremely significant”. “It’s genuinely not about social housing, it’s the balance [of social housing versus private], the quantum [of social housing] and the way the local council has been able to act with the taxpayer. It’s the bigger picture as well; it makes you afraid to buy anywhere if this is what’s going to happen,” one resident said. Most of the houses in the development have now been sold, but residents also fear the impact the scale of social housing in the development may have on the resale value of their properties. “The unfortunate and real-world consequence is that the original purchase value of the houses in Beechpark will be adversely affected,” they claimed. Another cause of frustration is the lack of communication from the council on the agreement, with residents only finding out earlier this week. “We’re very distraught and disgusted with the way it’s been handled,” they said. A group of residents in the development are now writing to the council requesting that either the lease agreement be rescinded or that arrangements are put in place “to formally and certifiably reduce the social accommodation allocation to a more appropriate level in keeping with the Part V guidelines”. Back in 2019, for example, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council agreed to lease 89 apartments at the Herbert Hill development in Dundrum, under an enhanced long-term lease, at an average monthly rent of €2,000 per apartment. The Government’s social housing strategy has also recently been criticised for allowing investment funds acquire entire housing estates, with a view to leasing them back as social housing to local councils. This prompted the introduction of new measures this summer to limit the acquisition of houses and duplexes.
