Sinn Féin Town Cllr Caroline Dwane welcomed the house coming on the market, as she said it has attracted anti-social behaviour while it was unoccupied.

The house is absolutely derelict, There was water running inside it for a year, the inside is destroyed.

Great selling point, even for 10k

Dont blame portlaoise being a fkin kip on us dubs! They're need archaeologists to dig pretty deep to try find portlaoises' pre kip period.

I stopped in Portlaoise once for food on the way to Dublin. Never again!! The whole town itself isn't worth 10k!

Haha! Had the misfortune to stay there one night. We went out to one of the pubs and I swear it was like that old Harp ad where all the Mexicans all turn round when the door opens! I was just waiting for some to say "we dont lika youra type around ere" in a gammy Mexcian accent. I bet they were all thinking it.....

'complete with its own secret garden and babbling brook'

...reality is the thing should be flattened. You'd be much better off buying a domestic windmill for 10k. Oil could be at $200 a barrell in a few years.

*I just took a look at the house in the link.. you wouldn't even use it for cattle

they could dig as far as australia and they wouldnt find portlaoises pre-kip period. the town for whatever unknown reason always had an air of depression about it, was always cold (and bear in mind this is an inland town!) and the only 'amenity' it had when i was growing up was stapo's arcade across from the church. and then even that closed down!
