I stress, a small bit… It’s not exactly the great fire of London or a scene from a Hollywood movie, but anyone familiar with Douglas (Cork) will probably know that on the Carrigaline road there are a couple of abandoned houses used regularly by ‘youngsters’ for the purposes of ‘gatting’. Well, now there’s one less…
Snapped quickly before the GardaĆ arrived and gave me a short, sharp lesson on pissing off. Nothing too dramatic, more to find out where the plume of smoke was coming from that suddenly wafted in front of the house while I was watching TV and browsing eBay. It begs the question, how much longer until the next abandoned house gets the same treatment? A few more of these.

What does ‘gatting’ mean?
it’s the practice of drinking alcohol in obscure locations; Like in derelict houses, the middle of fields, etc.
I’m hugely confused why are house so expensive if there are empty ones around the place!! What possible reason would you have not to sell the house!
