Ireland's ghost town



Here is a grim little home video, showcasing a half completed housing development in Ireland.

Imagine if you bought into this estate at the peak of the bubble.

(I picked this clip up from the south of dub blog).

A dismal sight, or should I say, site.

Clear the rubbish and it'll look just fine.

Homes for the homeless - or is that just too simple.

Ireland is full of things like this.

I have seen whole streets - indeed whole villages - of large detached houses, built in the middle of the countryside, all standing empty.

Who, if anyone, had paid for them remains a mystery.

The EU is responsible for this, of course.

Come, come: the EU exerts authority but never accepts responsibility.
