Perhaps literally.

There was one on Grafton Street many years back, but it’s gone now. There are rumours of them coming back to the Republic soon, starting in Limerick.

It caused my wife to dissallow my periodic Tim Hortons run to Belfast.

I shared the link to more illustrate how out of hand the Canadian housing market is. A couple of months ago, we considered moving back to Canada from Ireland. But a standard 3 bedroom detached house in nearly anywhere in southern Ontario was running at least 800k. Here in Dublin, my...
