Enniscrone couple to raffle off house with panoramic views of Killala Bay.

A three-bedroom house in one of Ireland’s best-known seaside destinations could be yours for as little as £20 (GBP)!

Gary Cawley and Dyann Kilawee have decided to give punters all over Ireland and beyond the chance to win a beautiful house in Enniscrone, Co Sligo via a prize draw. Gary spoke to The Francie Boylan Show all about it.

The draw, which is expected to attract significant interest, will take place on 7th June 2021 or when the last ticket is sold (whichever is sooner). Details here: https://bit.ly/3bp4afo

Enniscrone – best known for its five kilometer golden beach, seaweed baths, championship golf course and beautiful Killala Bay – has long been a mecca for tourists in Ireland and beyond.

Speaking following the launch of the draw, Gary said: “We were hoping to sell our home in the near future, but with the current Covid 19 situation, we felt it was not appropriate timing to invite people into our home to view our house, especially when both of us are working on the frontline.

“We stumbled upon this upcoming trend and figured it was the perfect opportunity to sell our home in a safe manner while also offering somebody a life changing prize”
