Glencastle withdrawn at auction

A HUNDRED people crowded into the Minella Hotel in Clonmel last week for one of the most significant farm auctions in south Tipperary for decades.

The auction of the 276-acre Glencastle House, Kilsheelan, was well-flagged, but bidders drew in their horns and the property never reached the guide of €3.25m.

A similar auction occurred the previous week when Annaville Farm, Co Offally. was withdrawn having failed to make its reserve of €2.3 million.
