Belgooly farm was once the homeplace of Taoiseach's father

FORGET the Bertie Bowl at Abbottstown welcome to the Belgooly Bowl.

Just up for sale this week is the farm of the late uncle, and the home place of the father of Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, in Belgooly, Co Cork. Not to be confused with the Glengooley of political satire, this farm is close to the coastal districts of south Cork and is on the market with Eamonn O'Neill of Kinsale.

The 82 acres farm is described at excellent agricultural land by Mr O'Neill. Family relative and auctioneer, Roy Dennehy, describes it as: "one of the finest farms in South Cork. They'll be killing one another for that farm", he added.
