Record-breaking sale of South Tipperary land
Former IFA Deputy President Micheal Slattery was the auctioneer wielding the gavel on the sale of a 45 acre tillage farm at Synone, Cashel, last Friday.
There was very keen bidding with the guide price of €600,000 passed swiftly, as three bidders took the land to €700,000, but it was eventually knocked down at €815,000, to Mr Ahern of Synone House: the equivalent of €18,111 per acre, and Mr Slattery pronounced himself very pleased with the result.
