Bringing it all to Barna

Thu, Jun 04, 2009

Barna has always been regarded as the happiest of places to call home. Even going back to earlier decades when a clutch of modest shops and pubs at a small crossroads leading down to a solid protected small fishing harbour comprised the total attraction of the village, with a scattering of ‘posh’ bungalows intermingling with more modest cottages and seaside villas, Barna was always regarded as a desirable address combining easy access to the city with the charm of a leisurely way of life and an intimate, cosy, ambience.

In recent years Barna has changed in some respects, almost beyond recognition. The modest village has been replaced by a modern upscale centre boasting a wide variety of retail outlets, an excellent supermarket, and some great eateries and smart pubs. The old landmark Twelve Pins has been torn down and replaced with a cutting edge hostelry cunningly named The 12. In tandem with this sea-change to the village centre Barna has exploded in terms of residential developments and population growth. Most of the development around the village has been carried out by O’Malley Construction, for many years a leader in innovative and well planned development in the Galway area. The well laid out and imaginative work around Barna is an example of all that’s good in modern design and layout.

A leafy suburb by the sea

Thu, Jun 04, 2009

During the reign of the late lamented Celtic Tiger one of the more extreme but quite common trends in the property world was the growth of a sector where eager buyers regularly bought perfectly good houses and immediately applied for planning permission to demolish them in order to then build a ‘dream home’ on site. In latter years this had become a very commonplace occurrence, largely prompted by the dearth of really good sites in prime locations. While the steam has gone out of the ailing market and the wrecker’s ball is seldom seen in these straitened times, the basic fact remains that good sites are scarcer than the proverbial hen’s teeth.
