Under the old scheme, developers had to pay €3000 contribution per house where as now it has been changed to €11500. The developers are also required to contribute towards the cost of things like roads, sewage, drains, etc....
The hearing in High Court is expected to last three days.
A whirlpool, is it only for the rich and famous?
There was a time that you could only find a whirlpool in very expensive houses and it was in general thought to be a very luxury item in anyone’s home. But fortunately these days due to advances in technology and competition in the market, the prices are coming down and whirlpool baths are replacing the traditional ones in more and more new dwellings being built throughout Ireland.
A new straight whirlpool bath (1700 x 700 mm) can be purchased from Tubs & Tiles for as little as €599 or if you prefer a corner one (1300 x 1300) for as little as €799. The choices and options are numerous and depending on your own personal taste and requirement there is a whirlpool to suit every individuals needs. So, if you are building your new house or renovating an old bathroom do consider a whirlpool in your design, not only can it help you to relax and enjoy the ritual of bathing it could also increase the value of your property if you wish to sell it in the future.
Our thanks goes to the team at Tubs & Tiles, Tralee for all their friendly help and advice regarding their range of whirlpools.

Due to high amount of rain this month and high level of water in the ground, if you are planning to clear your site and start your build make sure that you employ a contractor with a track digger instead of a wheeled digger as the latter can cause more problems on the site due to the lack of manoeuvrability.
