Room to Improve

David and Nessa Conlon have just bought this 1990s split level detached bungalow and plan to move in with their three children (twin boys aged 11 and a 7 year old girl) once the renovations have been completed.

In the second episode of Room To Improve, Dermot Bannon heads to Borrisoleigh, Co. Tipperary, to meet Joe Kenny and his bride to be Mary Hayes. Joe's house is a 3 bedroom, 2 storey house on a half acre site about half a mile from Borrisoleigh, with beautiful views of green fields.

In the third episode of Room To Improve, Dermot Bannon heads to Rathfarnham, where Yvonne and Adrian Saunders live with their daughter Lauren. Yvonne and Adrian's house is a detached 1950s two-bedroom property, in need of massive transformation. Dermot likens it to a 'Hansel and Gretel' house.

In Ashford Co. Wicklow stands the house of Nigel and Frances Coffey. Frances's parents live next door. Several years ago her father built a private road and gave seven plots of land to his seven children.

Claudia and Tom bought this 1920s bungalow with panoramic views of Tramore Bay in 2012 for 305K euros. Just back from living abroad (Spain, Dubai and Germany) they have been living in the house for the past year.

Glenn Keating and Gustav van der Westhuizen live in Grace Park, Drumcondra, with their 5-year-old son Noah and two pet Weimaraner dogs. They live in an Edwardian terraced three story house. The terrace was originally built for officers of the British Army, between 1897 and 1902. Glenn is a youth worker for LGBTI+ young people in the city centre and Gustav is a banker.
