Huge cheer at close of exciting auction

One of a few women to wield a g avel in East Cork has completed one of the fastest and most furious bidding matches in the region.

Adrianna Hegarty of Hegarty Properties saw intense competition for a farm which she was selling jointly with Cyril Wall of Burke Wall, in the disposal of the late John McCarthy’s estate on behalf of executors.

The farm, which has a total of 140 acres on offer, was divided into two holdings in the townlands of Ballycroneen Upper and Churchtown South in Cloyne.
