A Dublin house has also been bought for over €600,000 at today's event. It was the most expensive lot sold. The 5-floor, mid-terrace Georgian building is on the south-side of Dublin city.
It was among over 150 sites going under the hammer today, including two hotels in Co. Clare and a former Galway convent.
€33,000 was the lowest price that was paid for a derelict cottage in Charleville in Cork. A 3-bed house in Longford was sold for €35,000, with a 3-bed house in Louth bought for €124,000 and a bar in Co. Cork went for just over €190,000.
