Daniel O’Donnell’s family home on the market

April 11, 2013 by namawinelake

WhereItAllBegan

The BBC is reporting that inoffensive crooner, Daniel O’Donnell’s childhood home, where his mum and sister and family still live, has come on the market. The 6-bedroom 6-bathroom bungalow on an acre in Kinclassagh in west Donegal has gone on the market this week with an asking price of €400,000. Daniel no longer lives there but the BBC says the property is a bit of a Mecca for Daniel’s army of fans with groups turning up to see where it all began in the 1980s. They’re selling up because the property is now too big for them, apparently.

Daft.ie is advertising the property, and the only contact given is an individual Gavin Boyle.

Daniel lives in Meenbanad in west Donegal these days, and on his official website, lists his pet hates as “smoking followed by gossip”

    “Smoking followed by gossip” – what on earth is that? So that’s one pet hate, what’s the second? Don’t tell me I’ll have to look at his official website. It appears his punctuation may be as bad as his singing.

      @Bunbury
      I presume one would put a comma after smoking, but why?
      Don’t be too hard on Daniel. He has done well and did little harm, in a part of the country that is just one generation away from tatie hoking.

    And what’s wrong with tattie hoking? It was an honest living. I’d chose it over lots of jobs – auditor for KPMG or obstetrician at Galway University Hospital, for example. Meenbanad is a beautiful part of the country, although the house is admittedly an eyesore.

      “It was an honest living”. Nothing wrong with tatie hoking.
      It was a tough, hard, migrant, seasonal, low paid and, yes, honest living.
      But don’t mistake the honesty of the task, with the ease of performing it.

    That house is everything which is wrong with irish planning or the lack of it? Six bathrooms with six bedrooms ? “Oh and mammy led a simple life we were simple people” really Daniel? what has happen to the irish people did thactcherism even reach donegal?
