Feng shui houses

I used to live in Woodgrove when these houses on the ballyfin road were launched. I was down there yesterday for the first time in 4 years. And that feng shui estate (for some reason I can't remember the name) what the fcuk happened???

Wow!! Thanks for that. I remember having house envy when I seen the launch brochure. Is the whole estate empty now?

I don't know, but it should all be levelled to the ground at this stage, it's a huge eyesore.

Hi, it is all empty and as said, should be razed to the ground. We were looking to buy 2 year s ago and we're optimistically shown these as doer uppers! I felt so sorry for the two houses that were inhabited back then. The Jehovah s witness hall is at the back of them and even they left and the Hall is for sale.

Terrible to see so many houses lying vacant/ boarded up/ damaged around Portlaoise.
And then hear talk about new social housing to be built over the coming years.
Crazy management of funds.

Were a lot of people out of pocket?
