Rescued a couple of spiders and ID request.

Hi everyone, first post here,

I'm in Dublin, Ireland. I rescued one of them from a box that was about the get shredded and the other from the laundry before my wife killed her.

I then added them to my terrarium.

The one from the box was in a bad shape, with a broken leg, which has since detached and it was very lethargic, it is now a happy and fat spider after eating a couple of flies.

The other went through a molt already!

They are small ish, around 4 cm legspan? And the abdomen pattern is one of the most gorgeous I've seen! Golden spots.

Can you help me ID them? Also, are they female? Or are they the male of a the giant house spider?
