HIDDEN AT THE end of a private laneway just off the Westminster Road in Foxrock, Weavers Hall is certainly not your average house. This remarkable and striking home is the definition of contemporary elegance mixed with timeless design. And for €7,250,000, it could all be yours.
Designed by the architect Paul Brazil and constructed in about 1999, Weavers Hall is a lesson in distinctive, modern architecture with a touch of romantic grandeur. From its octagonal, tower-like sunroom with cupola to its bargeboard-trimmed slate roof and sash windows, it's full of character.
A gently curving gravel driveway, flanked by maple trees, sets the tone upon arrival. Indian sandstone pathways meander through borders of lavender, climbing roses and clipped Buxus balls, culminating in secluded seating areas and a striking garden room. A mature fig tree stands sentry at the back door and the property's verdant borders are planted with specimen trees such as Japanese holly, paper birch and rhododendrons.

The interior spans an impressive 478 m². Every room is appointed to the highest standard with underfloor heating, wide plank oak floors, bespoke joinery and artisan finishes throughout.

ieExplains: Key dates for Leaving Cert students, teachers and parents
When do the Leaving Cert 2025 exams start and end? Leaving Cert exams start on Wednesday morning (June 4) with English paper 1, and continue in the afternoon with home economics. The exams will run until Tuesday, June 24, finishing up with Japanese, Arabic, religious education, and applied maths. A full Leaving Cert timetable can be found on How are students graded? A new grading system was introduced for all Leaving Cert subjects in 2017, replacing the traditional ABC grading system. The new system now uses eight grade bands, each 10% wide. For a student to achieve the top mark at higher level (H1), they need to score between 90 to 100% in the subject overall. When will Leaving Cert 2025 results be out? Students should receive their Leaving Cert results on Friday, August 22. The first round of college offers is due to go to students on Wednesday, August 26, at 2pm. What happens if I miss a Leaving Cert exam? The State Examinations Commission (SEC) will run a set of deferred exams later in June and July. These are strictly limited to students who experience a close family bereavement, or who suffer serious medical conditions such as accidents, injuries or illness. Access to these exams should be seen as a 'last resort' and the SEC only grants access to students who meet the criteria. It warns against viewing them as 'second chance examinations'. Unless a student is 'absolutely sure' they meet the criteria, they should attend the exams in June as normal. When is the CAO deadline? The CAO Change of Mind facility, which allows students to add, remove, or reorder their college course online, closes on July 1 at 5pm. What are the most popular CAO courses in 2025? College course entry points are subject to change, and are determined by a number of factors. There has been a surge in applications to the CAO this year, and data collected earlier in the year suggests strong interest in nursing, teaching and medicine, as well as engineering.

Odds-on buyers favourite at €745k home in the The Paddocks
Activity around No 9 Tirol Close has been pacey. Within five days of its market arrival last week, the four-bed home had cantered past the €745,000 guide price. Buyers have always been fast out of the traps when it comes to homes in The Paddocks, at the Douglas end of Maryborough Hill. Proper order too, given Tirol Close is called after a nimble racehorse, who made a name for himself in the '80s, winning the Newmarket and Curragh 2000 Guineas. The thoroughbred, called Tirol, was owned by The Paddocks developer John Horgan, who took the opportunity to immortalise his horse in bricks and mortar. The Living Room at No 9 House sales on Tirol Close tend to move at a gallop. When No 9 last came to market in 2019, it sold inside six months. It featured in these pages on that occasion too and was described as turnkey . That said, the current owners have made a virtue of making a good thing better. What they did was mainly cosmetic, replacing carpet in the living room with a beautiful warm walnut herringbone floor, repainting the Celtic Kitchens' units to create a more contemporary look and making a series of decorative changes that improved the overall appearance of No 9. Open plan kitchen dining House hunters who are not fans of white noise may be keen to hear that the owners shipped noisy household appliances outdoors: the cooker extractor fan; a central vacuum system; the water pump. All that remains to make noise are the kids and they have their own very spacious playroom — which new owners may have other uses for, like a fourth bedroom. Tasty playroom Selling this Roderick Hogan Architects designed early 1990s home is Stuart O'Grady of Sherry FitzGerald and he's seeing 'mostly traders up, but some first time buyers too'. One party has made an offer of €750,000. The Price Register shows only two other Tirol Close homes as having sold since 2010 and the most recent was the very house featured here, which sold for €610,000 half a dozen years ago. Dining at No 9 For sure it's a bit of a looker. There's that lovely herringbone flooring in the living room, which has a big bay window and a 9' high ceiling and a cosy stove; there's a second reception room (currently in use as playroom/study), also with a 9' high ceiling; to the rear is the stylish open plan kitchen/dining room with an island unit in the kitchen and a double sided gas fire in the dining area, which also benefits the sunroom. Sunroom The latter extends into the southwest-facing rear garden and is awash with natural light. French doors lead to the rear garden where there's an Indian sandstone patio, a nice stretch of lawn, feature lighting and elevated planters. Out front, a double cobblelock driveway is framed by mature shrubbery. Upstairs, the main bedroom has an ensuite and a walk-in wardrobe The family living at No 9 are selling up because a house they'd been waiting for has come along. They leave behind a home tailor-made for another family. As it's just a short stroll from Douglas village, new owners will have a glut of retail, schools, sporting amenities and public transport on their doorstep. The South Ring road is easily accessed from Maryborough Hill. VERDICT: Winner takes all. Very attractive family home.

Meghan tells of turning to ancient Indian medicine doctor during pregnancy
The Duchess of Sussex has described how she turned to an Ayurvedic doctor when pregnant with both Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Meghan, in her latest podcast, which was released on Archie's sixth birthday, also spoke of the benefits of "adaptogens" such as mushrooms but admitted some see the approach as a "little psychedelic and super woo-woo". The former Suits actress discussed her belief in the ancient Indian holistic Ayurveda philosophy while chatting with Hannah Mendoza, founder of Clevr Blends. The instant organic lattes firm is another in which the duchess has financially invested and then invited on to her podcast. In an earlier episode of her Confessions Of A Female Founder series, Meghan spoke to her hair colourist Kadi Lee, co-founder of hair wellness brand Highbrow Hippie, which the duchess invested in last year. Mendoza, who grew up in London but later set up home on the west coast of the US, described how she began making a friend - her now co-founder Roger Coppola -mushroom-based cappuccinos to help him during a time of grief. Meghan acknowledged the fungus often had other "connotations". The Duke of Sussex famously admitted taking magic mushrooms in California in 2016 in his autobiography Spare. The duchess said: "I think a lot of people when they hear mushrooms, they go 'OK, she's talking about being hippie-dippy, grounded in all these things'. "If you aren't familiar with adaptogens, you can go to this place of 'Oh, it's feeling a little psychedelic and super woo-woo'." Adaptogens are active ingredients in certain plants and mushrooms which are said to impact how the body deals with stress, anxiety and fatigue. Meghan described how she turned to an Ayurvedic practitioner when pregnant with Archie and Lili and how it was about seeing "food as medicine". "So, there are these items and ingredients that have been part of our natural ecosystem and dietary system for a long time, whether acknowledged or not, that somehow you say mushrooms, and now people have a connotation attached to it," she said. "But it's really just a food trend that I believe you were far ahead of in terms of saying, 'Hold on, these have properties that can in some way make you feel differently in a really safe way'. "During my pregnancies, I had an Ayurvedic doctor and so much of it was about seeing food as medicine." Harry told in his memoir how the couple listened to Sanskrit songs in the delivery room with Archie on the advice an Ayurvedic doctor and whispered to their newborn that they loved him after the practitioner told them babies absorb everything said to them in the first minute of their life Ayurveda, which means the "knowledge of life" in Sanskrit, is a holistic approach to balancing the body, typically using natural herbs and massage.
