€2.3m for Marry land

THE EXPECTED sale of the Jack Marry pig farms wasn’t as big as expected – but the end results were.

Three piggeries and 412 acres were due for auction on Tuesday, September 10, but the pig farms were withdrawn prior to auction, and only a portion of the land was released for sale.

There was a very good price on the day for 224 acres, knocked down for 2,300,000 euro, a “pure” land sale, without farm buildings.
