Confusion over estates exempted from tax

Six housing estates have been included in the list of properties exempted from the property tax despite never featuring in any official government list of unfinished developments.

All are located within the administrative area of Cork County Council with the exception of one development in Kildare.

The five developments in Cork which never featured on any previous list of ghost estates are: Brook Hill, Balea Rd, Carrigaline; Earls Well, Waterfall; Hill Farm, Model Farm Rd, Carrigrohane; Kilmoney Woods, Kilmoney, Carrigaline; and Mansfield House, Pembroke, Passage West.
