Ailesbury Wood home offers another notch in the heart of Dublin’s embassy belt

Tucked away at the end of a tree-lined lane just off Ailesbury Road in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, Ailesbury Wood is a bespoke scheme of 16 terraced homes built by Davy Hickey Properties in 2004 on the site of former tennis courts. They were designed by Crean Salley Architects with a view to blending in with the original period houses on Ailesbury Road, with redbrick facades and understated features.

Number 6 Ailesbury Wood is a four-bedroom home with a balcony outside the main bedroom overlooking the playing fields of St Michael’s College, affording a grandstand view of Leinster Schools rugby fixtures.

C&C sales fall below €800m as distribution business contracts

Bulmers owner C&C Group increased sales of its own brands in the first half, but a decline in distribution revenue contributed to group sales falling below €800 million for the six-month period. A new trading update from the company said group net revenue fell 3 per cent to €794.9 million for the half-year that ended in August.

It is noted in the article that Ireland has the lowest proportion of secondary school students who study two or more foreign languages. Is English not technically a foreign language? In Ireland, most secondary school students study either French, German or Spanish in addition to English and our native Irish. If English were to be correctly classified as a foreign language, then the statement that Ireland has the lowest proportion of teenagers who study two or more foreign languages would not hold true. – Yours, etc, THOMAS HAYDEN,Carrickmines,Dublin.

May I suggest … Storm Donald?

Sir, – I can’t wait for this week’s storm. We will struggle to keep up with new names shortly. I suggest Storm Donald. It will blow at an unbelievable rate and could cause structural damage to ballrooms and ponds. However, this storm won’t last long. – Yours, etc, PAT BURKE WALSH,Ballymoney,Co Wexford.
