Action has been urged to make owners of a derelict house in Portlaoise town clean it up and so end anti-social activity causing fear for neighbours.
A derelict house at the front of a Portlaoise estate is bringing trespassers who are setting fires and stopping neighbours from sleeping.
This is according to Cllr Catherine Fitzgerald who has asked Laois County Council to act on the situation.
The bungalow is on the N80 Mountmellick road between Beechfield housing estate entrance and the GAA Leinster Council office, hidden behind locked construction site gates and overgrown trees.
