The council is also offering three bedroom semi detached houses at Kingscourt in Callan for €185,000.

Only first time buyers are eligible for the affordable homes scheme. They must also be in full time employment.

For single income households gross income cannot exceed €40,000 in last tax year.

Joint income households cannot exceed €100,000 in last tax year (calculated by 2.5 times the income of the principal earner plus the income of the subsidiary earner).

A Kilkenny Council spokesman said: "If you wish to be considered for the Affordable Housing in any of these locations and have not already submitted an application, you should do so without delay as these houses/apartments will be allocated in the near future."
