Another auction delivers in line with price expectations

As we reach the end of 2016, there is the usual flurry of activity signalling the imminent arrival of the New Year, and the desire for many farmers to wrap up business and face January afresh.

Just last Monday, one of the last public auctions of 2016 took place at the Cahir House Hotel in Cahir, Co Tipperary.

The 25.75-acre property that went under the hammer was situated just south of the town and close to the village of Clogheen. As it turned out, the sale price in the executor auction sale was in line with expectations, as auctioneer John Fitzgerald of Dougan Fitzgerald Auctioneers explained: “We had a good crowd, and it was sold to a local farmer for a price of €310,000.”
