Castlebar declares housing emergency as supply has ‘dried up and rents have increased astronomically'
The Irish Independent speaks to Castlebar-based county councillor Harry Barrett about the 'housing emergency' gripping Mayo's county town
Today at 07:45
With a population of just over 13,000 people, Castlebar is the geographic, administrative and commercial heart of Mayo.
It is not the most expensive postcode in the county. With some three- or four-beds now fetching over €500,000, Westport is – and will remain – the most expensive place to live in Mayo.

Court orders HSE to pay Wicklow firm almost €3m for breach of covid ventilators contract
The HSE has been ordered to pay a medical devices company just under €3m for a breach of contract regarding the procurement of ventilators at the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic. Narooma Ltd, the Wicklow-based firm in question, had initially sued the HSE in the High Court in April 2020 after the health service failed to make payment for 350 ventilators it had agreed to purchase at the onset of the pandemic. The original deal for the machines – which were in high demand for covid-hit patients – had been worth €7.5m. In addition to the compensatory payment, believed to be close to €3m and representing the profits lost as a result of the scuppered deal, it's understood that the arbitrator ruling upon the case also directed that the HSE be held liable for all legal costs resulting from the action. Those costs will likely amount to an additional €3m resulting from the five-year arbitration – leaving the HSE facing a bill of close to €6m as a result of the case. Narooma was contacted for comment but did not respond. The company also has an outstanding High Court action against the IDA resulting from the same events, its claim being that the inward investment agency allegedly advised the HSE to back out of the initial deal, leading directly to the breach of contract. A spokesperson for the HSE did not directly address the Narooma settlement, but said regarding other monies which it has failed to recoup on foot of failed ventilator transactions with multiple companies that: 'The HSE continues the process of taking the necessary steps to recoup outstanding amounts where appropriate and possible to do so.' The Wicklow company's case contrasted markedly with that of other companies which entered into deals with the HSE to provide ventilators from China at the start of the pandemic. One company, Roqu – previously known for organising music festivals in the Middle East – received €14.1m from the HSE for 328 ventilators – only 72 of which were ever received, none of which were ever used as they failed to pass quality standards. Case background The initial agreement between the HSE and Narooma would have seen the 350 ventilators shipped to Ireland via the Far East in April and May, 2020. When the HSE informed the company that it would not be following through with the purchase that April, Narooma brought the case to the High Court. It claimed the HSE had been required under the contract entered into on March 27, 2020, to pay for the ventilators three days later on March 30, but had failed to do so, saying belatedly that it wished to conduct due diligence on the company. At the High Court, the HSE argued that the case should be referred for arbitration per the contract between the two, an argument acceded to by Judge David Barniville in June 2020. The case had been mired in arbitration for five years until the recent decision in favour of Narooma. Defamation Narooma also stated in court its intention to expand its claims against the HSE to include defamation, after the body complained about the company to An Garda Siochána – a complaint which directly led to the gardaí reporting to the Policing Authority that its economic crime bureau, in conjunction with Interpol, had intervened in an attempt to return the €7.5m to the HSE – despite the monies never having been paid in the first place – and had commenced a criminal investigation into the matter. The gardaí subsequently moved to correct the record, posting a notice in the Irish Times noting that the information it had reported to the authority was 'incorrect', and that no money had ever been paid to Narooma by the HSE.

121-acre Cork farm expected to sell for €1.7m
The rare opportunity to purchase a viable-sized farm of 121 acres within an hour of Cork City is up for grabs with the latest offering from Clonakilty-based auctioneers Hodnett Forde Property Services. The holding in question is at Knockacroghera, approximately 7km west of Coachford, 11km from Macroom and just over 30km from Cork City centre. The lands are all in permanent pasture and laid out in easily managed divisions, according to selling agent Ernest Forde. The lands are all in permanent pasture and laid out in easily managed divisions, according to selling agent Ernest Forde. He said: 'It should generate a good bit of interest Only a day after it went on the market, we already had a good few phone calls and enquiries… it's a substantial piece of ground and makes for a viable self-standing unit.' The property is ready to go and in very good condition, the agent adds. It has been leased out for a number of years but well maintained during that time. There is a farmyard with a number of old outbuildings. These include two four-bay round-roof sheds with additional lean-to structures, a three-bay round-roof shed and a collection of stone outbuildings. Furthermore, there is a derelict house on site – something that adds to the potential of this farm. 'The house offers potential for anyone taking over the farm,' says Ernest. 'It's also well situated where it is on the farm and there's huge road frontage onto two roads. The farm is very accessible in all parts.' Lot A consists of 64.5 acres and Lot B has 56.5 acres (including the derelict house and outbuildings). The ample road frontage lends itself to easy subdivision and the holding is being offered in two lots: Lot A of 64.5 acres and Lot B of 56.5 acres (including the derelict house and outbuildings). 'That gives an opportunity to purchase two good-sized holdings,' says Ernest. 'We'll see how the interest builds… if we have very strong interest, we might go to a private auction but at the moment, it will be sold by private treaty. 'We're expecting that it will make in the region of €1,700,000 to €1,800,000 (€14,000 - €15,000/acre). We're hoping that it will exceed that, of course. It's a very strong farming area.'

Chris Wilder sacked by Sheffield United – for a second time
Wilder will leave his boyhood club for the second time as manager in a major move from American owners COH Sports. The 57-year-old, who guided his hometown club from League One to the top flight at the end of the 2018-19 season, is set to be relieved of his duties following a review of the Blades' Championship campaign, a little more than 19 months after returning to Bramall Lane for a second spell in charge. Under Wilder, the South Yorkshire club finished third behind Leeds and Burnley and were beaten by Sunderland in the play-off final at Wembley despite taking the lead. That came as a huge disappointment, with the club having been heavily involved in the race for automatic promotion before winning just two of their final seven regular-season games to slip 10 points off the pace. The former Blades defender – he made 126 appearances for the club in two spells during a playing career which also involved stints with Southampton, Rotherham, Notts County, Bradford, Brighton and Halifax – was appointed manager for the second time in December 2023 on an 18-month contract. American-based consortium COH Sports, who completed a takeover in December last year, handed Wilder a new contract until the end of the 2027-28 season in January, but it appears his second reign is over.
