In all fairness, who'd want to live in ballyhaunis?

Thats unusual! Maybe try Michael Griffin or Richard Finn in Claremorris. They normally have lots of properties all around the area including Ballyhaunis. They'll be open!

Why not just go onto myhome.ie?

Go onto www.daft.ie and seach the listings for Mayo - Ballyhaunis. The agents selling the properties will have their name and contact details on the adverts.

I suppose I shouldn't make light of the situation, but I have very little sympathy for all parties involved in the real estate game. They fleeced the country whilst times were good and have helped (along with the banks) to bring it to it's knees.
