The purpose is to create a new regional mart structure, Central Auctions, through the merger of both marts and the integration of Roscrea mart, currently part of Glanbia.

A resounding 96% voted for the plan at the Nenagh Mart special general meeting and a strong majority of 72% were in favour at the Birr meeting.
