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

Technically a town, there’s a real village feel to Dalkey with long-standing local businesses and winding streets. It’s incredibly pretty with a choice of local parks and beaches nearby and a great selection of restaurants, quirky shops and bars, as well unparallelled views over Killiney and Dalkey Bay. Families are well catered for and the Dart link puts the city centre within 25 minutes’ reach.
