WATERFORD, IRELAND—On August 31, 2025, vacuum tycoon James Dyson unveiled plans to transform his 300-year-old Ballynatray House into a sci-fi monstrosity, infuriating Waterford residents. The James-Dyson-Ballynatray-House-renovation, featuring a six-storey fibreglass extension and purple perspex river views, has locals fuming.
“It’s a spaceship designed by a nutcase!” roared Derry Hayes at a heated community meeting. The historic interior faces demolition for Dyson’s “21st-century upgrade.” A spokesperson defended the plan: “It’s self-cleaning, off-grid, and a glow-up for this dreary area!” For more satire, visit Waterford Whispers News.
Analyst Tara Kline quipped, “Dyson’s sucking the soul out of history!” Construction stalls as builders misplaced the “suction extension thingy.” Check updates at Irish Times. At press time, X users mocked the mansion’s transformation into a vacuum cleaner.
