A LITTLE known cul-de-sac in South Dublinhas just earned international acclaim - as one ofthe most expensive places to buy real estate inthe entire world. Corcoran's International Report for 2000,compiled by New York estate agents, reportsthat in Ballsbridge Wood, off Shelbourne Roadin the heart of prestigious Dublin 4, just onesquare foot of property will set you back a cool£455. That makes it the 17th most expensive square foot of ground on Earth. The pricing is based on a £405,000 city pad ofjust under 890 sq ft. Ironically, Ballsbridge Road is the Dublin basefor Peter Bacon, who has been charged withdrawing up policy to tackle the capital's spirallinghouse prices
