Meticulously restored Marino midterrace for €635,000
Address : 20 Brian Terrace, Marino, Dublin 3 Price : €635,000 Agent : Sherry FitzGerald View this property on The properties in Marino are mainly made up of former council houses that were built in the 1920s and 1930s on the garden suburb model in what was the first public housing initiative in Ireland. One hundred years on, the homes are now mostly privately owned, and many extensively renovated. Number 20 Brian Terrace is one such property. It was, say the owners, in its 'original state' when they bought it in 2022 for €432,000, according to Property Price Register. The walls were thick with layers of wallpaper and paint, the kitchen was nonexistent and the floors were covered in 1970s patterned carpets. It has come a long way in three years and now looks as neat as a pin. Right from the newly gravelled front driveway, it is clear that the house has undergone a recent renovation. Unseen jobs including replumbing, rewiring, insulation and plastering have all been done, as well as the fitting of a new kitchen and bathroom. Hallway Livingroom Kitchen Bedroom Back garden The 81sq m (872sq ft) property, which is now on the market through Sherry FitzGerald for €635,000, is entered through the new front door into the hallway. The original floorboards, which have been meticulously restored, run through the downstairs rooms. To the left of the hall is the livingroom with custom-built storage units to each side of the fireplace. An arch leads into the kitchen and diningroom at the back of the house. The kitchen is fitted with wall and floor units with extra storage in the dining area. READ MORE Double doors open out to the back garden, which has a patio with a path down through the lawn to a gate that allows rear access to the house. There are three bedrooms upstairs. Two of these are double and have their original cast-iron fireplaces. The bathroom has a bath with overhead rainwater shower and a heated towel rail. The owners have brought the energy rating from a lowly F up to a very respectable C2 through the installation of double-glazed windows, extra insulation and a new gas combi boiler. Although the roads can be busy around Marino, the owners say Brian Terrace is quiet as it isn't used as a rat run. The thing they noticed as soon as they moved in was the strong sense of community that the area is renowned for. This is something they hope to find again when they move across the city. The demand for houses in this part of Dublin 3 has always been strong as the city centre and the seafront are both within walking distance, but the prices are more affordable than neighbouring Clontarf. The area is popular with young families due in a large part to the schools in the catchment. National schools include St Vincent de Paul and Scoil Mhuire on Griffith Avenue, as well as Grace Park Educate Together. For secondary-school kids, Ardscoil Rís is at the end of the avenue for boys, and a few minutes up the road takes you to two girls' secondary schools – Maryfield and Dominican College, while Mount Temple is in the other direction on Malahide Road for a co-ed option.

Tories only realised Brexit impact on small boats ‘just before' leaving EU, admits senior MP
The Tories only realised the impact that leaving the EU would have on dealing with the small boats crisis 'just before' Brexit, Boris Johnson's former immigration minister has admitted. In a leaked recording, shadow home secretary Chris Philp appeared to concede that the Tories were late to understand the extent to which people crossing the Channel could have been returned to EU countries they had previously claimed asylum in. The admission, in a recording obtained by Sky News, reported to come from a meeting with Tory members last month, appears to stand in stark contrast to the Tories' Brexit promises on 'taking back control' of the UK's immigration system. In summer 2020, Mr Philp had warned that 'constraints' in the EU's Dublin regulations – rules that govern which countries in the bloc should process an asylum claim – made 'returning people who should be returned a little bit harder than we would like', while Mr Johnson's spokesperson criticised them as 'inflexible and rigid'. But in the new recording, when reportedly asked by a Tory member why countries such as France continued to allow migrants to come to the UK, Mr Philp can be heard striking a somewhat different tone. The Tory frontbencher appears to say: 'Because we're out of the European Union now, we are out of the Dublin 3 regulations, and so we can't any longer rely on sending people back to the place where they first claimed asylum. 'When we did check it out, just before we exited the EU transitional arrangements on 31 December 2020, we did run some checks and found that about half the people crossing the channel had claimed asylum previously elsewhere in Europe – in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, somewhere like that, and therefore could have been returned. 'But now we're out of Dublin, we can't do that, and that's why we need to have somewhere like Rwanda that we can send these people to as a deterrent.' Labour claimed the leaked recording showed the Tories 'didn't have a plan' for asylum as it led the country out of the EU. A spokesperson said: 'Kemi Badenoch has previously admitted the Tories led us out of the EU without a plan for growth. Now her shadow home secretary has admitted they didn't have a plan for asylum either.' But the Conservatives insisted its previous administration 'did have a plan' and that 'no one, including Chris, has ever suggested otherwise'. 'The Conservative Party delivered on the democratic will of this country, and left the European Union,' a Tory spokesperson said. 'We created new deals with France to intercept migrants, signed returns agreements with many countries across Europe, including a landmark agreement with Albania that led to small boat crossings falling by a third in 2023, and developed the Rwanda deterrent – a deterrent that Labour scrapped, leading to 2025 so far being the worst year ever for illegal channel crossings. 'However, Kemi Badenoch and Chris Philp have been clear that the Conservatives must do a lot more to tackle illegal migration. 'It is why, under new leadership, we are developing g new policies that will put an end to this problem – including disapplying the Human Rights Act from immigration matters, establishing a removals deterrent and deporting all foreign criminals.'
