The Rathkeale Rovers

Is Rathkeale still being taken over by traveller's or whats the story with the place?

I'm not from there but I went to secondary school there but I haven't had much reason to go there in the last 13 years, but it's sad to see what has become of the place.

Have a look around the following estate, this is not untypical of what has become of the place. I knew a few lads from this estate growing up, used to visit regularly up to 2000/2001. It was an estate full of families and life.

Now, literally every house in this (admittedly relatively small) empty, all lawns tarmacked or concreted over, almost all windows/doors boarded over, not a single car parked, no sign of life whatsoever. It's the most bizarre thing. I wish I could say more regarding what I know about the nature of how houses like this were bought but I think I'd better leave it there...
