Lessons to learn in price drop

1872-built national school owned by cartoonist/writer Flann O’Riain has price slashed to €80,000, Tommy Barker reports

IT’S no joke — the asking price on the former school building done up by writer and political cartoonist, the late Flann O’Riain, has had its asking price chopped by more than a half.

The 1872-built national school at Ardane, Aherlow, by the foot of Galtees, has dropped to €80,000, down from €179,000 two years ago when it was put up for sale after Mr O’Riain’s passing.
