Yet another large north Dublin home is to be sold with development in mind. Auburn, on Howth Road, Clontarf - a stately Victorian house on two acres - is expected to make around £3 million under the hammer next month when its formal gardens and paddock are likely to be earmarked for housing. The five-bedroom house is owned by Mary Guiney who, though she's 99, is still involved in the family business, Clerys.
