Egan seeks permission for stonework on wall

Former Westlife member Kian Egan and wife Jodi Albert are still seeking privacy at their home in Strandhill, outside Sligo.

They were ordered to remove a metre-high wooden fence from atop the stone boundary wall by Sligo County Council earlier this year. However, they have now applied to add more stone to the wall top when they remove the fencing.

The Voice of Ireland judge and former Hollyoaks star Jodi have told the council the wall will be the same height as the pillars at the gate. That means removing the wood and adding stone- work to create a level top instead of the step design of the fence.
