    It's very common. I worked for IBM for a few years and had several colleagues who did it.

    I know a lot of people who have purchased those one-off houses in Cavan from the people who built them.

    Are you saying that one off houses in the middle of nowhere are being built for people who are not from the locality?

    Surely if you are in construction, your jobs move around a bit? For example, someone from Cavan could end up on a building project just as likely in North Dublin as out in West Dublin?

    I have a cousin who works in Dublin who bought a 2nd hand bungalow on the edge of a town in the midlands with a rail connection to Dublin for 85K (spending another 50K upgrading it). The reason he is doing that is because he couldn't afford to buy a house in Dublin.

    Now would you prefer if he was looking for social housing and living in a hotel room paid for by the State?

    Back on topic, please.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.
