"We've got quite a few good celebrities coming down to play against the Fattys Bar team so I'm expecting it will be quite good fun. "There's also going to be an after-match event at the bar, with 100 per cent of all takings going to Little Havens."

"All services provided are free to the families in Little havens care and this can only be provided because of the donations from the local community. "The football match was the idea of one of our regulars at Fattys Bar, Keiran Morgan, who is an ex professional football player."

Shane Lynch's family home hits the market — but the internet can't unsee what's in the attic
A house in Dublin that is reportedly being sold by Shane Lynch's parents has hit the market — but the sellers aren't what's got the internet talking. 13A Grangemore Drive seems like a perfectly suitable end-of-terrace home, with a lovely and spacious kitchen/dining/living room, with a TV room boasting a bay window allowing for plenty of light. Pic: HWP Estate Agents However, it's what's inside property — particularly the attic– which has everyone talking. Everything seems above board in the spacious kitchen… Pic: HWP Estate Agents A short staircase on the ground floor of the home (which previously appeared to be a pool room? We think? Why are pool lights there?) leads into a… room of some description — we assume it's a ground floor bedroom — which then leads into the more *ahem* normal parts of the home such as the aforementioned. Things get weird in what appears to be the extension of the house — with what appears to be a former pool room being converted to a stairway to… something? Pic: HWP Estate Agents An narrow and winding staircase leads to the remaining four bedrooms, and while they seem fine, the layout of the home has them in some sort of circular proportion with a hallway that seems to lead to nowhere/a hot press/a bottomless portal. This is where the staircase leads to… and we're still a bit confused. Pic: HWP Estate Agents The home was shared to the Ireland subreddit, where commenters were left completely baffled by the home's design — with one person commenting 'This feels like the kind of house I'd make in the sims when I was 12 with no idea what I was doing.' Pic: HWP Estate Agents Others pointed out the portrait of Shane in the attic, with one commenting 'Entranced by the portrait, every prospective buyer stepped straight into the trap,' while another added 'I like the Tudorsesque golden framed portrait next to what looks like a Cadbury sponsored Panto poster.' We're not sure if the Shane Lynch portrait will be included in the estate sale… Pic: HWP Estate Agents And remember the former pool room/stairway to a different room that we mentioned? Turns out one sleuth found it was a pool room (which may have been put there before Boyzone or B*Withced), commenting 'Was checking the planning to see if the giant extensions were allowed and yes, that was a swimming pool.' Pic: HWP Properties 13A Grangemore Drive, Donaghmede, Dublin, is available via HWP Properties with an asking price of €599,960 — but be warned, that once you enter, you may not be able to find your way out (we're joking of course, but it is still incredibly oddly designed, right?)
