Bargain of the year - A cottage in Rush for € 5.00
Property prices may have gone through the roof, but a very nice thatched cottage was available recently in Rush for the bargain price of the year, at just € 5.00
Granted, it was a little on the “bijou” side of small, and although the outside looked well, I’m given to understand that the interior left something to be desired. The house is shown above, but in case you are wondering where it is located, take a look at the picture on the right. The cottage was being raffled to raise funds for the Rush Men’s Shed, and the four “estate agents” were spotted by our roving reporter Tony Brennan recently, selling tickets at 3 for € 5.00 in the Haven Pharmacy.

Apart from drinking tea and telling corny jokes, the Men’s Shed crew get up to a lot of good work around the town, such as patching up the shambolic hoarding on one of the derelict houses on the main street, building benches for the school, and making bird boxes for the Tidy Towns.
HELP ! Like the pub with no beer, the Rush Men’s Shed is soon to be the Men’s Shed with no shed ! Their current premises is being sold, and they want to express their thanks to the present landlord for the use of the shed. If anyone has a shed, or even a site where they could build or put up a temporary structure, even for a limited time, please contact Tony Hickey on 089-2282362
