An attractive proposition

The last remnant of a major fresh meat supply company is now for sale, along with 63 acres of land at Dromgarriff South, Whitechurch, Co Cork.

A non-residential holding, this grazing farm does include, however, a former abbatoir used by vendor Paddy MacSweeney of Macs Meats, before stringent regulations put paid to the small slaughtering facility.

Paddy MacSweeney is well known in Cork; he and wife Lillian ran five butcher shops in the city for many years.
