There are 48 empty council properties in Westmeath at the moment.

A number of houses in Athlone and Mullingar have been kept aside as covid isolation units.
The council is taking on a second contractor to prepare the homes for new owners.
But Fianna Fáil’s Ken Glynn says the process needs to speed up:
