What home renovations actually cost in Ireland?

Most people go into a renovation with no idea what things should cost and end up overpaying or running out of budget halfway through. Put together some real Irish market figures if anyone finds them useful. Happy to answer questions.

Muckross House, Killarney - July 1979

Some old slides I scanned - taken by my grandfather during a visit in July 1979. Felt they were worth sharing for posterity. (I am far left of the final picture in red)

Tralee circa 1982/3

Found amongst a collection of old slides Im scanning. This was an outing, pictured are brother, mother, father me and grandmother - occasion unknown, (dates guesstimated from brothers age in pic). Picture shared because of posterity.

AI (with my prompting of location/date) identifies this as:
The photo was taken in a car park that used to be located behind Castle Street. The key landmarks visible are:

  • The Pig ‘n’ Whistle: This was a popular music pub on Church Street during the late 1970s and 1980s. It was formerly known as Killeen’s and was a well-known spot for live music before eventually closing or changing names.
  • Ideal Furniture: This shop was a fixture in Tralee at the time. While the brand has since relocated and evolved, its presence here helps pinpoint this specific area of the town center.

Im happy to correct this if anyone knows better.

Looking for a location

This is a random slide found with others from Kerry (and Cork areas) from May 1978 - Id love to know where this is (I might have mirrored the slide by accident)
All I know is they arrived into Ireland via Cork, and went on to Dingle/Killarney and Castleisland in May of 1978
Id love to know where this is please - reaching out to the hive mind!

Merlin bird watching app locations?

I use this app a lot, I saw someone posted on the Cork page asking people to share good locations, any particularly good spots in Kerry for specific ones?
