Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

If one drives along a rural road outside any village in Ireland, the topography generally is homogeneous. What I mean by that there will be a percentage of homes, bungalows, one-off housing in ribbon developments where the gate is 10 yd. or 15 yd. in from the road, there is line sight and the house and the driveway are just there. There also are many homes that are up laneways and on farms. Moreover, there could be four or five homes on a farm in a cluster where, rightly or wrongly, the sons and daughters have built on the family farm.
