The National Institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis (NIRSA)
defines a ghost estate as a development of ten houses or
more in which fifty per cent or less of homes are occupied or
completed.
It is difficult to establish their exact number. The 2012 official
census counted more than 2000 unfinished ghost estates, and
it was estimated that Ireland had up to 300,000 vacant homes.
In the first decade of 2000, more than 555,000 were built for a
country of 4.5 million inhabitants.
Ghost estates can be found everywhere, but most of them
are located in the rural areas of the northern and western part
of the country, in the counties of Cavan, Leitrim, Longford and
Roscommon.
