Owners of rugby fan favourite the Chop House were in dispute with rugby body over rented home in Dublin 4
When you think of the phrase “accidental landlord”, the IRFU doesn’t come to mind. But while assembling the site for the Aviva Stadium in Dublin in the 1990s and 2000s, it ended up with a property portfolio on its hands. Land Registry records show it owns six redbrick properties on Lansdowne Road, another six on Havelock Square and another handful on Shelbourne Road. In recent years the blazers in charge of the association decided to rent out some of the properties to earn a return.
Ironically their gastropub, where the late Anthony Bourdain once said he had “the best f**king meal I’ve ever eaten in Dublin”, is one of the most popular stop-offs with rugby fans heading for the Aviva.“The EBU is not what the Eurovision is – f**k the EBU,” Bambie Thug declared at the end of the Eurovision final in Malmö last weekend.
Glen Killane, a former managing director of RTÉ, is the EBU’s executive director of Eurovision Sport, where he is responsible for securing sports rights for public service broadcasters across Europe.
Now he has offloaded 16 Ailesbury Road for €6.5 million to Diarmuid McKillop, a Monaco-based property developer from Ireland who made much of his money in the UK. McKillop is married to Yana, a well-known fashion stylist, so his new gaff should definitely look the part.The row over the leadership of the National Party, including allegations of missing gold bullion, is the gift that keeps giving.
