Could this be Dublin's smallest house? It's up for grabs for €275,000

When it comes to the Dublin housing market, the phrase 'it can always be worse' somehow outdoes itself every few months.
Enter 24 Daniel Street, in Dublin 8, which costs €275,000 — and while for the market that we're currently in this may be seen as a bit of a bargain, the home stands at 37 square metres; meaning that it would cost approximately €7,432 per square metre.
The property, which is located in The Coombe, consists of a living space, kitchen, and bedroom that is en-suite… and that's it. Pic: Auctioneera
The living area has a feature fireplace, shelving units, and leads into the kitchen which has cabinetry and counter space.
A compact utility space completes this area. Pic: Auctioneera
The bedroom is admittedly somewhat spacious given the space of the house itself, with an en-suite bathroom and a 'snug' patio completing the home.
There are some perks to this home; mainly the location, which has a number of bus stops and LUAS stops within walking distance. Pic: Auctioneera
The home also benefits from being eligible for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, which… you'll probably need.
'This is a charming property with huge potential,' Helen O'Keeffe, Director at Auctioneera, said. The home's one and only bedroom, leading into the bathroom and a patio. Pic: Auctioneera
'Its central location means residents are within walking distance of all that Dublin 8 and the city centre have to offer.
'The fact that it qualifies for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant — along with the availability of resident parking permits — makes it an attractive option for buyers looking to create a bespoke city home.' Pic: Auctioneera
24 Daniel Street, Off Clanbrassil Street, The Coombe, Dublin 8, is available via Auctioneera, with an asking price of €275,000.

Dublin's new Dart station 40 minutes from the city will be a ‘godsend'

For Aisling Ronayne the opening of Irish Rail 's new Dart station at Woodbrook in south Dublin on Sunday is to be a godsend. As one of the residents of the new Woodbrook housing development located between Bray and Shankill, she is within shouting distance of the Dart line. However, it is too far to walk to either Bray or Shankill stations, and parking at these stations for cars is limited. Her route to work in Dublin involves driving via the M11 and the M50 to the Luas in Carrickmines. 'You can park there for €3 a day," she said. Ms Roynane lives with her infant son and her husband, who has been working remotely from home. 'It is not ideal, but we make it work,' she said of the family's commuter arrangements. READ MORE What is difficult, she says, is 'the €70 taxi fare from Dublin' that has to be added to the bill for a night out in the city. 'It will be a whole lot better when the [Woodbrook] station opens,' she said. 'My husband is being asked to work back in the office, he works in Dún Laoghaire, and we will be able to get the Dart at Woodbrook to work and we can use it for the occasional night out in town.' When The Irish Times met Ms Ronayne on Thursday morning she was pushing her son in a stroller, on Woodbrook Avenue, a road through her estate to the Dart line. It is a new road and on Thursday workers were busy getting the last section finished to link up with the station. 'I hope it is done for Sunday,' she said. Woodbrook is a large development with many of the terraced, three-storey homes recently completed and awaiting occupants. Construction is continuing on part of the estate south of Shanganagh cemetery and much of this is around the railway, putting the station out of sight and reach. 'The new station is behind Shanganagh cemetery,' said Oliver Plunkett who was walking with his sister Marie and dog Rue. 'It is hard to find. But if you go up to the railway line just past the cemetery you can look down the track to it,' said Oliver. The brother and sister said they were hoping to see where the access route to the station would be. 'We are trying to find it,' said Marie. Irish Rail, which is to open the station on Sunday, said the road through Woodbrook estate will be completed, and a pedestrian path from beside Shanganagh cemetery is to be put in place by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council 'but it is not there yet'. From Sunday, Woodbrook will become the 147th station on the rail network. The new station is some 250 metres north of the former Woodbrook halt, which served the area from 1910 to 1960. Service frequency is to be about every 10 minutes in each direction on weekdays. The journey to Dublin city centre will be about 40 minutes. The station consists of two 174m-long platforms with associated passenger shelters, seating, lighting, CCTV, customer information, bicycle parking and ticketing facilities, Irish Rail said. Access to the southbound platform is via a new pedestrian bridge with ramped and stepped access. Dart services will begin serving Woodbrook Station in advance of the official opening at 11.45am by Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien and the cathaoirleach of Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, Jim Gildea. To mark the official opening, there will be a family fun day with entertainment for children and adults at the station. Irish Rail said as parking at Woodbrook will be limited, visitors are being asked to take the train to the events.

Dublin Bus chief calls for joint security body to tackle anti-social behaviour across all modes of transport

Company CEO Billy Hann made the comments in light of Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien's announcement on Wednesday that planned recruitment for a transport police force with powers to detain could begin by the end of 2026. "I would like to see a transport-wide solution to the security concerns around anti-social behavior', Mr Hann told RTÉ's Today With Claire Byrne. At present, security on Dublin Bus, Irish Rail and the capital's Luas tram are operated by separate private security firms such as One Complete Solution (OCS) and STT Risk Management. However, Mr Hann would like to see a merged state transport security force, as set out in the government's National Development Plan for 2025. "If you join up those services and have the one company providing those services, they're working off the one set of data. They can sort of move across the various different modes of transport and address the behavior. He added: 'They [troublemakers] don't just stop on the bus. They jump off the bus and they go on the Luas. They get off the Luas, they get on the Dart and so on.' Comparing the effectiveness of current security firms in combatting anti-social behaviour on the country's transport links, Mr Hann highlighted the disjointed nature of the current security infrastructure. "We can remove people from buses. The private security firms do have, under the citizen's arrest, the ability to detain, but they can't arrest.' He added: 'We're not just on one campus like the airport police. We're working across a network.' Mr Hann concedes that introducing the new transport police force is not a 'silver bullet' to fix all problems of anti-social behaviour. Dublin Bus introduced its Safer Journeys Team last October with six operatives working seven days a week to prevent and respond to incidents of anti-social behaviour across its routes in areas specified as problem hot spots.
