    Words of advice from a person that actually lived in that area when times where good keeping in mind. This is not the time to buy property in a place like Ballyconnell. In fact its not the time to buy property anywhere in Ireland. Property for sale at those prices that landlords and property owners put them up for have been gotten from space!
    Houses lets take for example a four bed detached house in a Rural area that would have gone at such tremendous prices about seven years ago. You remember those times, where u walked into a bank asked for a loan and came out with two million. About a week ago i just so happened to be driving through Ballyconnell and believe me its the exact opposite of how it used to be. Houses not finished and wearing away, because the price ain't right! It's like a ghost town.
    A very good example is Mr Sean Quinn , a very well-known man millioner or billionaire. Now a man with depts, a man that lost his hotel and companies. As you've probably you have seen aswell, not so well in with Anglo Irish Bank.
    All I can say is think before you buy any property in that area.
