Strong interest in four-farm sale

Four Co Limerick farms, all part of the estate of the late Eamon Garett, and which come to 332 acres in total, has created quite a bit of fluttering in the dovecotes already — and the prospect of a good day out on Wednesday, April 30, when all four farms come to auction.

Expect a crush. This is going to be one of the better auctions of the year — four farms, all in good condition, hitting the market at the same time. It’s an event, more than a sale.

GVM’s Tom Crosse says the decision to sell the farms in one fell swoop was an executor’s decision — and as a piece of public relations, it’s a superb move, because not only is it a major talking point, it has generated huge interest.
