Homes worth €2.73m are snapped up at derelict site

Residential property sales totalling €2.73m in a ghost estate were snapped up in just 10 days.

There were queues of people waiting to purchase new bargain homes in the Killaloe site, Ard na Deirge.

The interest flowed 16 months after homeowners, locked out of their new properties on the shore of Lough Derg, had staged a protest about the delay in taking up occupancy.
