A Meath property developer who owns a spectacular suite at the Powerscourt Hotel in Co Wicklow has offered to accept social welfare rent allowances as part of the monthly rent when he leases the five-star accommodation next month.
"Luxury apartment/suite boasts an opulent entrance hall with separate guest bathroom, kitchen, drawing room, grand bedroom, his & hers wardrobe & dressing room; bathroom with built-in TV, bath, shower closet, his & hers sinks, & separate W C."
The internet advertisement offers a lease of at least three months, promising tenants five-star comfort with a lift to their own private entrance, electronic touch-screen control for all lighting and air conditioning, access to a 20m Swarovski crystal-lit heated pool, steam room, sauna, state-of-the-art gym as well as two championship golf courses close by.

The €30-a-day average rate is a long way short of the €262 being quoted by the hotel for a similar suite next Friday. A week-long stay in one of the exclusive suites costs €1,319... So if you're looking for a bargain, check this place out.
