Laois County Council spent €4m on four parcels of land during the boom.
Where they planned to build public housing.
The money used to buy the land was borrowed from a state agency.
The debt has been written off and the council has now sold the land.
To another state agency.
For €4.
Somewhere in Laois a farmer is laughing his ass off.
