Episode Five – Maureen Duke
Maggie and Tadhg search for houses with retired nurse, Maureen Duke and her daughter Suzanne. Maureen has been renting in Mayo for the past 11 years but now wants to find a permanent home of her own. She’s looking for a two to three bedroom house near a town or village that doesn’t need much renovation.
Series Six:
Cheap Irish Homes returns for a sixth series. Maggie Molloy is hitting the road again to help house hunters on a budget find great value properties. This time she will be joined by a new building expert, architect, Tadhg Casey. Raised on a dairy farm in North Kerry, Tadhg credits his rural upbringing – working on building sites, farming, and steel fabrication – in shaping his grounded, hands-on approach to architecture.
He’s passionate about preserving and revitalising Ireland’s architectural traditions and using local materials and sustainable methods.
Maggie has been really impressed by Tadhg. “You can see that he really cares about old buildings and breathing life back into them” she says “It’s great that Tadhg can share his knowledge with our house hunters who are often overwhelmed by the thought of buying a property that may need a lot of work.”
Together, Maggie and Tadhg hope to show people that even in a tough housing market it’s still possible to discover the prefect, Cheap Irish Home.
