Starter homes: Unfinished business with new Millstreet homes

Millstreet, Cork, €69,500-145,000

DON’T know where Rathcoole is? Don’t worry, the man who bought 11 houses here from Nama didn’t either.

Now, this weekend, he’ll be on site selling the last four of them, with seven sales already under his belt. Last spring, the buyer, Bernard Hennessy, was driving his son to a soccer match in this North Cork village between Millstreet and Banteer when he spied a sign saying ‘Eleven houses for sale.’
