Residents to net €36m in ‘unusual’ joint sale

EIGHTEEN north Dublin cottage owners are set for a €2 million windfall each after putting their homes jointly up for sale.

The 18 owners of Meakstown Cottages in Finglas are set to net over €2m each in a joint sale to a land developer.

Five years ago some of the residents of Meakstown secured a High Court injunction preventing the construction of a temporary halting site for Travellers.
