WATCH: Victory for residents over ghost estates in Lismire
The council has been battling for years to force financial institutions pay out insurance bonds to finish off projects left by bankrupt developers.
And council estates manager John Ahern, who has been lauded by councillors for his dogged pursuit of bondholders, has also made significant progress at unfinished estates in Kanturk and Boherbue. Mr Ahern said he’d held a number of meeting with AIB officials and the receiver over releasing the bond for unfinished works at the Dun an Oir estate in Kanturk, where some unoccupied houses with serious cracks in their walls will have to be demolished.
