    Cork County Council mistakenly bought a property for social housing — in Limerick .

The council acquired the property in the townland of Kilglass, Anglesboro, near Mitchelstown and the Galtee Mountains, not realising it was located in Limerick.

It is understood the property is due to be transferred to Limerick City and County Council and will be allocated to someone on the council’s social housing list.

Two separate motions submitted by Limerick councillors sought to address the matter, but both were deferred until further clarification is received.
