There are 12 vacant council properties in the Manorhamilton Municipal District but this figure is expected to be “well down” by the start of August.

Director of Services, Mary Quinn, explained there are 12 vacancies but said that five of these properties are currently listed on the allocation space for the local authority .

Cllr Sean McDermott asked if any of the vacant properties are four bedroom homes.

He was told that two are three bedroom, one is a one bedroom while the remainder are two bedroom properties.

They range in location from Manorhamilton and Drumkeerin to Glenfarne, Kinlough, Killargue and Ballinaglera.
