Two missing dogs

Two missing dogs from Callan in Kilkenny. Disappeared last night at 8:30 (24th of April)

The male is a springer spaniel wearing a red tartan collar and the female is a German pointer wearing an orange collar. There was a possible sighting near the Tipperary boarder but our best guess at the moment is they are out in the countryside somewhere.

Any information helps!

Kilkenny housing market (shambles)

There is currently a little cottage on Nore Terrace for sale (link below) for €275,000. The house is in derelict condition, needs a lot of work, and hasn’t been lived in for almost 3 years.

Location is good, has great potential, and has a nice size back yard. You’re probably wondering why I have beef with this house and why am I posting it on Reddit? Well this house, all 49m2 of this house was purchased by its currents owner approximately 1 year ago for a price of €251,000. In that year, and judging by the photos, there has been no work done to the house. The only ‘upgrade’ I can see is that the current owners applied for planning permission to extend the ground floor and add a dormer. HOWEVER, this planning permission has not been granted. The current owners who purchased the house last year on an online auction and completed no work to the house are looking for an additional 24,000 euro. That isn’t inflation. That is just greed!!

What is interesting about this property is that it was sold at online auctions the last two times it was sold (which neither buyer has lived in it). The previous owner bought it in 2023 for €187,000 on the online auction website, BidNow. That owner then sold the house in 2025 on the online auction website Offr for €251,000. The previous owner had it in their possession for over 2 years and they also didn’t complete any work on the house which shows the house has just been idle for this many years and getting in worse condition.

But now it is being sold by a Kilkenny based auctioneers. Comparing the square footage to other properties in Kilkenny city, it is way over priced. Especially when you consider the condition of the house.

What does this highlight?? The absolute greed people go to make a profit. The current owners are clearly selling this for a profit and haven’t done any work to deserve that profit. It also highlights a fact that housing is not a high enough priority in the Kilkenny area. Loads of new housing estates are being developed but there isn’t enough being done to cope with the demand. There is no houses for young people to rent and the option to buy isn’t ideal either. We really are in the midst of a desperate housing crises. What is the word to describe something worse than a crises? Because that better depicts what the country are experiencing.

Rant over. See the current house in question below.

Driving instructor

Hi everyone.

I’m looking for a good driving instructor in the heart of Kilkenny City, if anyone has recommendations, I would appreciate it because the driving instructor I had really put me off driving for a bit. My preference is a woman who is easy to talk to, someone who works with people with ASD, but the main thing I need is an instructor who drives automatic as my coordination in manual cars is poor. Thank you :)
