Hi there,
I come from a little village about 10 miles away from Ballagh and I would not be so sure about this town expanding too much more. This is a town I have seen an awful lot of change in these past few years, pretty much the same as any other west of Ireland small town.
Having said that, I recently spoke with an in-law who has a house in the town and she mentioned how her and my cousin (who are getting married soon) were going to rent the house they were currently in and build a new one. My response was, do you think there is really a market for renting in Ballagh and her response was that there definitely was!! To be honest I found this hard to believe but all the small towns down the west seem to be doing well. My only question is where the heck are all the people coming from?
