Councillor Ian Lynch had submitted a motion regarding the purchase of five units at Beal an Inbhir, but it not on the agenda for Monday's monthly meeting.
It called on the Council not to proceed with its plan to purchase the homes under a provision within the Local Government Act, but the local authority has received legal advice that this is not valid.
The Council is in the closing stages of buying the five homes, and say there is a serious need for social housing in Kilrush, but Councillor Lynch believes he and other Councillors should get a say.
