Wondering in today's market in Ireland what a good budget number for construction of a new home would be? 200sf sound fair? Thinking of finally returning home snd trying to run some numbers.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Maybe showing my bias here but am I the only one thinking Ryan wasn't that bad? Of course he'll have to take his share of the blame for the lineout but without Toner/Hendo it's often been a struggle. There's not a ready made replacement ready to take over in that area. I'm a huge Ringrose fan but h...
