Touring southwest Ireland in glorious spring weather the number of abandoned homes that pepper the landscape soon becomes apparant.
On glancing one estate agents window we spot a recently sold derelict house with six acres at E65,000.
At the same time news media reports on a housing crisis and homelessness.
The sad fact seems to be that most of the desersion and dereliction has been ignored. The shells pictured here are far beyond economic repair. The strange thing is that they blend and disolve into a countryside too beautiful to notice any blight or blot.
