PICS: This is what €1,300 a month in rent will get you in Dublin

This is the property market in Ireland.

This is what it gets you…

Have you €1,300 available each month to spend on rent? Do you fancy getting a place to yourself? With that kind of money, you could probably expect to get a half decent place to stay.

But in reality, €1,300 will get you this cosy little shed in what appears to basically be a carpark out in Drimnagh in Dublin.

The ad, via Daft.ie, reads…

Pat Garvey, of P.J. Garvey Auctioneers, is delighted to bring to the letting market, this fine one-bedroom apartment. This property is ideally located in the heart of Drimnagh with every amenity on your door step. With public transport, schools, array of supermarkets, James’s Hospital and Crumlin Hospital close by…

Facilities listed in the “apartment” are a washing machine, parking and central heating.

NOTE: The ad has since been removed from the website.
