Nama farm holding excites strong interest

The low-hanging fruit of the boom is slowly, very slowly being disposed of by Nama, and almost a year after being put on the market for sale, land near Blarney, Co Cork is believed to be close to a sale.

The property, some 178 acres at Stoneview, Blarney, Co Cork, and formerly owned by local farmer Sam Vickery, is believed to have been bought back by him.

However, the selling agent Peter O’Flynn of DTZ Sherry FitzGerald was circumspect about the rumoured sale.
