Safety fears in ‘ghost estate’

RESIDENTS living in a so-called “ghost estate” in Borrisokane in Co Tipperary are living in fear of a major accident because the gable ends of some of the unfinished houses on the site have collapsed.

Parents fear they or their children will be injured due to falling clumps of mortar from the unfinished houses at the Ardán estate.

“It’s like the Wild West,” said resident Pat Molloy. “We’re sick of it. The road in the estate floods when it rains and the gable ends of two houses are after collapsing.
