"I'm fortunate to own a house, and there's some of my friends who I look around at and they've saved up deposits, they've got mortgage approval, and they're being priced out of the market continually.

"I said, let's do something different, let's tackle the market from a different angle, let's give away the house.

"People can buy tickets, they can go online to my website, or check out the social media channels as well, to get involved.

"The tickets are limited so that means the odds are really good."

The raffle ends on Dec 31, 2021 at 5pm or "when the last ticket is sold (whichever sooner)."

Callaghan said the house is "on the edge of the town, a quiet cul-de-sac."

"It's in Yeats county along the Wild Atlantic Way, we've got an unspoiled coastline there, we've got beaches upon beaches."
