HOUSE-HUNTING? HERE are five properties in the Dublin 9 area that are open for viewing this weekend.

The proximity to the city centre has always been a strong selling point for the area, you can walk into town if you want or hop on one of the many buses that service the route, or there’s always the Drumcondra train station. It’s also close to Croke Park and to Dublin City University as well as amenities like the Tolka River and the Botanic Gardens.
