Houses and cottages appear all over Ireland that have been abandoned. Several times I was attracted to the situation, meaning how the house was situated to the land and other features. I asked is the land and house available? Or who owns that piece of property. Often the response was that they didn't know. An explanation was offered in that the people that lived there migrated away years ago and no one knows anymore. Just recently laws were changed I was told that would allow an abandoned piece of property to be claimed. The process could take many years. Music: The Rose of Mooncoin |
Dark and EmptyThe derelict cottage was emptyThe light gone dark long ago The smell of mildew was in the air I asked who lived there They said they didn’t know A house gone dark is sad to see |
