The Irish Times

The childhood home of patriot Constance Gore-Booth Markievicz and her poet sister, Eva, is being sold for the first time since it was completed in the 1830s. One of Ireland's finest great houses is coming to the market for the first time since its completion in the 1830s. All such surviving Irish properties are relevant in a socio-historical context, yet few could challenge the cultural and historical importance of Lissadell House, in Carney, Co Sligo, the childhood home of patriot, Constance Gore-Booth Markievicz and her poet sister, Eva.
