Last year I bought a old semi detached council house. It was bought advertised as having a rear access road.
There is only a small gate leading to the back from the front only big enough for a lawn mower.

Before we moved in the council put up a locked gate blocking the road and put up a sign saying private property of Irish water .

Same thing happened near my parents' place - the houses effected were given keys.

Mod Note: The same thread was already closed in Legal Discussion. You really need to speak to a solicitor and speak to the council.
