The council acquired the property in the townland of Kilglass, Anglesboro, near Mitchelstown and the Galtee Mountains, not realising it was located in Limerick.<\/p>\n
It is understood the property is due to be transferred to Limerick City and County Council and will be allocated to someone on the council\u2019s social housing list.<\/p>\n
Two separate motions submitted by Limerick councillors sought to address the matter, but both were deferred until further clarification is received.<\/p>\n
A motion submitted by local councillor Eddie Ryan asked housing minister James Browne to transfer the property to Limerick council and for a Limerick family on the social housing list to be allocated the home.<\/p>\n
Another councillor, Tommy O\u2019Sullivan, said there should be more cooperation between local authorities.<\/p>\n
\u201cI accept that an error was made, it was just an error,\u201d Mr O\u2019Sullivan told the Irish Examiner.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all need to work together. We share roads and we share rivers. We share land. Up where I come from, on top the Ballyhoura Mountains, we share boundaries all the time, be it through the bike trail or through river walks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Going forward, Mr O\u2019Sullivan said, he hoped local authorities would do their \u201cdue diligence\u201d when an acquisition was on the table.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf there’s any question, contact the authority which the land may belong to. Whatever authority, at that stage it will come to the floor of the local electoral area.”<\/p>\n
Spokespeople for Limerick City and County Council and Cork County Council both said they did not comment on individual housing cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The council acquired the property in the townland of Kilglass, Anglesboro, near Mitchelstown and the Galtee Mountains, not…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":635622,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[185200,79,63,61,60,43],"class_list":["post-635621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-limerick-news","tag-cork-news","tag-cork-county-council","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635621\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/635622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
