People had a *lot* of feelings about the notionsy houses on Home of the Year last night

“Get a plasterer!”

THERE’S NOTHING IRISH people love quite like a good property programme.

Last night,  RTÉ aired the finale of Home of the Year, a search for the best house in Ireland. Over the course of the season, the judges viewed 21 preposterously nice houses and managed to depress people all over the country.

Seven houses progressed to the final and viewers were afforded yet another glimpse inside some of the houses last night.

And boy, did they have something to say.

First of all, there was a distinct bang of Celtic Tiger off the whole thing.

Don’t get us wrong. We love property porn as much as the next person. But it’s hard to not feel like you’re living in 2006 when watching Home of the Year.

People cried “Notions!” at the bare walls in this Georgian house.

In fact there were a lot of soundbites that made people go, “Oh, would you ever feck off?”

You know what’s easy? Restoring a Georgian house. You know what’s not easy? Making sure your €800 a month flat isn’t totally grim.

This is the show we want to see.

People did fall in love with this restored railway station and were gunning for it to win.

In fairness, look at it.

But in the end, it wasn’t to be and a house in Co. Clare was crowned the winner, prompting a house vs. home debate online

The cows won it for them.
