Liam Kelly and his girlfriend Ruth were just two of many desperate house hunters queuing for over three days in St Marnock’s Bay, Portmarnock.
Mr Kelly, from Portmarnock, said that the long wait was a gruelling but necessary process.
A mother, who wanted to remain anonymous, said she managed to secure a property without having to wait at all ."I just came up today with my daughter and noticed that most of the cars that were here over the past few days were gone.
"We’ll have our official launch here on Saturday at 12pm and hope to sell the remainder of the houses by then."
They still aren’t sold out

She just rocked up and forked over half a million.
Lucky she had her purse with her.

If you’re able to hack living in living in a car for a week, why not just do it for life and don’t bother buying a house at all?

Fucking idiots. Queuing for days to buy a house in a village that doesn’t even have a proper pub.

Is that a fire door with no handle?
As the local publican said when queried over a stuck emergency exit “Ah I’d bet ye’d get it open if there was flames reddening your arse”

@Bandage before you consider dropping 600K on a matchbox apartment in Dublin you should take a look at this

I could imagine Bandage and he cycling into Wexford every morning to catch a bus to Dublin in his blue suit and brown pointy shoes.

He’d want to set off very early on the bike.

I’ve passed by that house dozens of times, it’s beautiful. You have to hand it to the protestants, they had taste.
Very close to the pub owned by Kevin Doyle’s family. Not far from the beach either.
Informative rating. Karoo Farm Shop is nearby also and sells some decent fare.
If ye were any use the place would have been burned to the ground in the war of independence
Ah lads
