Cllr Jim Deane made the comments at this month's meeting of Carlow Municipal District and he told members and the Council executive that he had been contacted by a person "who moved into a Council house with no external door on it". 

"I don't like saying it, I have made representations," he added. 

Housing Officer, Josephine Kavanagh, had a discussion with Cllr Deane about the property as she left the meeting.
