Quota helps seal Kerry deal

AN astonishing result emerged last week at the auction of a 27-acre dairy farm at Leagh, Ballyduff, Co Kerry.

Eddie McQuinn of McQuinn Property Services held the auction in Listowel and realised a final price of €900,000 for the house and land, which made the equivalent of €33,333 per acre.

There was huge interest in the farm because of the 70,000 gallon milk quota, which brought bidders from all over the country, said Mr McQuinn.
