Garland, Reaghstown, Ardee; James Fox, along with Patrick Farrell. 3, Glyde Road, Tallanstown; Eugene D. Nulty, c/o Tallanstown; Kevin McHugh, Blackrock Michael Drumgoole. Knock Abbey, Louth; Peter Myles, Killencoolc, Readypenny; John Sampson, Glydc Farm, Tallanstown; Bernard Finnegan, Monvallet, Louth; Patrick Muckian, Lisrenny, Tallanstown; Dermot Daly, c/o, Tallanstown; Patrick McGahon, c/o Morans, Tallanstown; Patrick J. Kennedy, Rathory, Ardec; Thomas Markey. Rathory, Ardee; Gerard Woods, Knockabbey. Louth; Michael Finlay, Cookstown, Ardee; Kevin Doyle, Christianstown, Readypenny; Bartel Breen. Charlestown, Tallanstown; and Francis Hamill, Stephenstown, Knockbridgc. After being informed that they had been allocated a house, tenants were asked to choose between buying their new home directly through the purchase scheme, or just renting out the houses, through the differential rent scheme.

When all tenants have made their intentions known to the municipality, lots are drawn from a hat to determine which house a tenant will receive.

It doesn’t really matter as all houses are the same in design, but some may prefer an end house, and the council rightly believes that a tie, a hat, is the best solution for the situation. matter.
