Planning Permission, Old Cottages and Irish Dreams

The Dream

Picture yourself in your lovely Irish cottage, looking out over green fields and stony field walls. Your sea view is, of course, tremendous. The mountainy hills rising behind your cottage are dotted with sheep. And isn't that your neighbours, the Murphy's, coming up the lane for a chat and a spot of tay? Of course they're welcome... along with the happily envious guests arriving to use your extra rooms for a bit of bread and breakfast that will pay for it all.

The Reality

A lovely picture, that. And one shared by tens of thousands of displaced Irish wanna-be's. And it could actually be reality once you clear two wee hurdles - money and planning permission.
