For those looking for closure, this case was litigated to the Supreme Court https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/courts/supreme-court/appeal-over-value-of-disappeared-tory-island-house-struck-out-1.3079795 https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/courts/supreme...
To my reading the house was destroyed in “mysterious” fire, and then demolished for use as a car park by the adjacent hotel. The court ruled that the hotel owner must pay replacement cost for the house.
- illwrks 5y agoI was wondering... why does a hotel, on an island, need a carpark? I checked it on Google and it looks like the house was near the pier so it makes sense that residents might park their cars there to head to the mainland.

- rsynnott 5y agoI doubt there are many/any cars. The island’s less than 4kmsq, and the ferry is passenger only.
