Well that explains everything, for some reason people seem to think that it's the place to be, but having been there, staying with a relative, it's no better than anywhere else, except it seems to be more expensive. It's Bray for God's sake, not Monaco. Ah Bray!

I thought you could only claim a stretch of river if you owned the banks on both sides. The family obviously need a lot of space to live in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_of_Devonshire Robert,

I'd divert the river through my own land and fish there. He can keep the dry bit where the river used to flow! :) I can imagine. I’d divert the river through my own land and fish there.

Technically he owns the bed of the river, right out to the estuary. So anyone fishing the river Blackwater be it in Youghal where it meets the sea or Ballydesmond on the Kerry border almost at the source, needs his permission.

He doesn't own that house but he does own Lismore Castle further up the river. It’s actually the River Blackwater but you can’t have that because for some reason the Duke of Devonshire owns it.

Does the house come with it? Or you can save yourself quite a few million and move to <a href="http://www.vebra.com/home/search/vdetails.asp?src=agent&fd=107&bd=1&db=3&cl=101&pid=12536054" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">France</a> Nice lake, Robert.

But then a month or two ago it would have probably been 2M. I have seen a lot less going for a lot more. Why don't you move then? Your mobile home in Killiney would probably fetch around 4M?
