These will cost upwards of €33.00 a week VIA HAP payments. I mean, who can afford that in this day and age?

You'd have to pay me more than €33/week to live in Cromcastle!

I think they - the apartments not the houses - come with free central heating which I guess would amount to more than €33/week to you?

I think it's a new build & not replacing anything...  Looks like they're been built closer to the KFC across the road so they don't have to walk as far to get fed!

I remember one of my first fares to the flats there where a woman tried to leave a bag of rubbish full of potato peelings behind her  >:D  Toughens you up, I suppose?

That's the site Hal. Usually used for locals trying to burn shopping trollies. Mrs. Bullet and I always play a game on Cromcastle Road called "Spot the abandoned Shopping Trollies".  15 is the record and that doesn't include the flats!

My cousin who lives down at Beechlawn calls KFC - KIDZ FAT CLUB!! rofl
