Councillor and auctioneer John Leahy is concerned about the cost of the county's housing expansion.
Approved housing bodies should step in to help local authorities with excess housing stock - that's the view of an Offaly auctioneer.
Figures from Offaly County Council show that the local authority have 2,217 houses currently in their stock - an increase of 16% from 2019.
Over 700 of those houses are in the Birr area.
Independent Councillor for Birr and auctioneer John Leahy says new factors such as retrofitting could bring future costs:
