4 of a kind: Family homes in commuter-friendly Lucan

From a four-bed detached property to a terraced house in need of some modernisation.

WITH EASY ACCESS to the M50 and the M4, Lucan boasts a highly convenient location for buyers who want to be close to the heart of the capital.

This week we’re looking at four homes in the Co Dublin suburb, from a four-bed detached property to a terraced house in need of some modernisation.

Four-bed detached – €845,000

Coming to the market in turn-key condition, 8 Vesey Park is a beautiful four-bed property. It’s not overlooked to the front or to the rear, and boasts a 55ft x 84ft back garden. The accommodation has been extended to include an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, bringing the total size of the house to 2,422 sq ft.

Three-bed terrace – €320,000

Located a 20-minute walk from Lucan village, 74 Dodsborough Cottages is a charming three-bed terraced property. The house could benefit from some modern upgrades, but offers an appealing place to call ‘home’.

The accommodation comprises a sitting room, kitchen, three bedrooms and one bathroom, while there’s a sizeable garden to the rear.

    Note the term “viable”, meaning that it could have been delivered and survived.

    If a woman miscarries after 24 weeks the baby is given a birth and death very as it has passed the point of viability. It doesn’t get either if it is miscarried any sooner.

    I understand the need for revenge however I would much prefer if he rotted in a cell for the rest of his life. He could also be studied by criminal psychologists who might gain a greater insight into how criminals work. Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacey could have provided invaluable research that could have maybe been used to help catch offenders and saved lives in the future but now we will never know.

    Most people who oppose capital punishment oppose it because innocent people get executed.
    Cases look simple in the 2paragraph summary in the paper but when you’re on the jury and see the nitty gritty its often far more grey.

    I don’t reckon he should be executed. I reckon he should be punished. Death isn’t a punishment, when you die you die – death is too good for him.

    I’d prefer to see him suffer – a lifetime in solitary with only his memories to haunt him. Let his life slip away in the slowest way possible. Let him be acutely aware of it.

    There are some things far worse than death.

    I don’t think he should be executed. I think they should lock him up and throw away the key. Let him live the rest of his life (and may it be a very, very long one) knowing that he will never been free again. And that’s not because I’m a do-gooder, it’s because death, even in a botched execution, comes far too quickly murders and rapists like this man.
