Dermot Bannon eager to return to work after admitting that he has 'no money left'

Dermot Bannon said he’s eager to get back to work, admitting he has run out of money to finish his dream home and garden.

Ireland’s most sought-after architect is back with a new season of Incredible Homes later on this month as he visits some of the most impressive properties around the country.

The Dubliner, 48, is also getting back to work on Room To Improve, after filming was postponed this summer, with the new season set to air later this year.

Dermot told The RTE Guide: “I’ve done Room To Improve for the last 13 years and it’s been like this rolling machine that as soon you finish one, you start back into a new series.

“Or sometimes you’ll have some that never got finished and you’re still on them. It just never ended and for the first time ever I got a three-month break and now I’m really keen to get back to it.”

However, after a short stint off enjoying the comforts of his newly-renovated Drumcondra home and quality time with his kids Sarah, 15, James, 11, and seven-year-old Tom, he said he needs to start making money again.

Dermot added: “I had time to sit and enjoy it [house] and it was great.

“We had no money left, so we didn’t get any of the planned features in the garden done. That’s why I need to go back to work.”
