The birthplace of an Irish Olympian will go under the hammer in an online auction later this month.
Michael ‘Sonny’ Murphy was a middle-distance runner who collapsed during the men’s 3,000m steeplechase in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics.
He never quite recovered from the event which took place during a heatwave and died four years later.
The Parish of Kilnaboy in Co Clare holds a commemorative race annually.
The three-bedroom detached site is at Ballycashin, Kilnaboy, Corofin and is listed with an AMV of €70,000.
The bungalow, which carries a commemorative plaque, is set on a long narrow site that includes a roadside stone shed and extends to 80sq m and is located just off the R476 and fronts on to the L5260 Road.
The house is one of a number of properties up for online auction on Thursday, August 27.
