Fancy a cycle around Dublin city this lunchtime?

    The management at Hilton will be very happy to be described as ‘luxury’ hotels…

    About 40 something Conrad and Waldorf Astoria hotels in a chain of 4,200 makes them approx 1% luxury hotels.

    Launch a funding round for your knee, it’s sure to be worth a few hundred million.

    I would do a Kickstarter, but with the dodgy knee, the kicking isn’t so good.

    I’m sure Irish Air BnB hosts will be only too delighted to declare the income to Revenue.

    What a great and simple idea AirBnb is…..an idea if only I had thought of that. The right idea can make you serious $$$$

    Don’t confuse company value with profit. They haven’t made any profit at all yet.

    Another crowd distorting the city rental market. Similarly, in the D4 area, Daft is full with rentals advertised on a per week basis, 2 bed apts for 600-800 per week. Aimed at the “silicon docks” (it’s Ringsend, lads) execs. No average family can afford that.

    I’ll think of them when I write a rent cheque for €2,100 a week…. When my (same size) silicon docks D2 apartment cost €1,350 a month.
