Significant sale on edge of Cork

The trickle of development land onto the market has now turned into a steady stream — nothing dramatic or destabilising, just a steady flow onto an agricultural market looking to beef up prior to CAP reforms.

And while some farmers take to the streets, others go to the bank and set funding in place to see future generations through the business. For this reason, decent chunks of well located ground like this 94-acre holding at Ballinvriskig, Upper Glanmire, will bring out the sensible buyers.

In a strong dairying area and close to the north east of Cork City, this land was optioned by the former building firm, McInerney, who had fully completed the Ros Ard scheme, next door before the collapse in the market and subsequent collapse of the builder.
