    Here are the results:
    Co Cork - €50,000Lomanagh, Coolea, Co Cork hn000242_t.jpg

    Co Kerry - €50,000Faha Cottage, Killarney, Co Kerry cn000421_t.jpg
    Co. Limerick - €50,000Carrickerry, Co. Limerick re000207_t.jpg
    Co Mayo - €30,000Knock, Co Mayo 1jimmyfinnsmall.jpg
    Co. Monaghan - €25,000Cullentrabane, Laragh, Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan DSCF0003.JPG

    My God, I planned to never own a home in Ireland due to the cost (mainly). I can reconsider now. Just bring down the insurance prices and I can afford to live here.

    You'd have to put in another 50k to make them livable & also theyre probably miles away from nearest big town.
    Also there is one or two there........you're paying for a site, because the cottages are so old, its better knock them.

    Grow up in Knock, Go to College in Maynooth, return as a priest - the perfect location for fanatical parents to bring up their kids.

    We stopped there once when passing through on a school tour. Lots of people trying to sell us rosary beads.

    It wouldn't take that much to make a house liveable. As long as it has a good roof, windows, minimum damp, - a couple of grand would make any of these OK to live in. Surely?
