This is “A quarterly analysis on trends in the Irish Rental Market” and the report is available on Daft.ie.
It looks good. I’ll have a closer look later, but if you’re renting a room then this might be worth a look.

This is Beaumont, Cork
Google Maps is now available in Ireiand and the UK. Here’s Beaumont in Cork. Unfortunately, Blarney isn’t on the map!
At least I found where I work, I think.
Bill Cullen: Golden Apples
I heard (the real) Bill Cullen on Ray D’arcy’s show yesterday. He’s very funny but wow, what energy! Ray said he had to lie down and rest after talking to him! At the ages of 63 he wants to be the first Irishman (disputed in two comments in this link) into space and has already paid a deposit on his ticket. I heard he hopes to raise at least 1 million Euro for charity by doing this!
Ian Dempsey’s show just played an excellent Gift Grub taking the piss this morning. Listen for the repeat tomorrow morning if you missed it!
If you’re wondering what all this is about, take a look about the Internet for more..
Bank Of Ireland to repay 15m Euro over loans protection
This broke earlier in the week. Bank Of Ireland must repay 15m Euro over loans protection.
If you had a loan with them, got out payment protection, but payed off the loan early you may be owed money. Ring them at 1800 88 28 28 and you might get a letter from them in May with a cheque!
‘Course, this is just the tip of the iceberg according to some consumer groups.
Hehe.. Both articles have adverts from AIB Car Loans…
irish blogs in the boggersphere
Damien Mulley coined a new word a few days ago.. boggersphere
– here’s my definition, adapted from the blogosphere one.
“Boggersphere – The totality of Oirish weblogs or Oirish blog-related webs.”

RateMyTeachers.ie – Ireland Education and Teacher Ratings by Students and Parents
The ASTI wants to ban access to RateMyTeachers.ie and may even sue to have the site removed according to an interview I heard this morning.
I looked up a few of my teachers and comments were mostly positive.
However, the moderators must be doing their job as a number of comments were blank.
Strangely, the media report the site as ratemyteacher.ie but in fact it’s ratemyteachers.ie *shrug*

Andrea Bocelli .. singing by the Lee
Andrea Bocelli is to perform at Collins Barracks, Cork in July.
It was damn hard buying tickets on ticketmaster as their site bent under the pressure of people clicking “buy” all of a sudden.
I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that they sold out within minutes!
Sorry, we are unable to fulfill your specific request.
We're going to see Tom Baxter!
On the way home this evening from my aunt’s home we tuned to Red FM and heard they were offering tickets to go see Tom Baxter performing in the Savoy on Thursday! All you had to do was text in your name followed by the word “baxter” to enter the competition!
I didn’t expect to win, but they rang back a few minutes ago and Jacinta answered a simple question so we’re going to see live music on Thursday! Woo! 🙂
