3/4 bed concerns not calling the extra reception room downstairs a bedroom even though it is fact often used as such, much like a 5 bed in glencree might be misleading given the size of them. You can get a house in shoreside larger than the one I suggested for under 400k, my original point was that newport prices were somewhat comparable to killaloe in some areas, I agreed that Killaloe will have far more 'premium' properties close to €1,000,000, but you could still get a new 3 bed semi for under €200,000 up to 2/3 years ago. I'm not trying to outdo you on the general knowledge of the areas I just feel that I know what I'm talking about being a native of Ballina and dealing with both areas in a professional capacity.
