For those of a certain age who remember the old N8 Dublin-Cork main road, the Horse and Jockey Hotel needs no introduction. The famous roadside hostelry and restaurant has restored the energy levels of people on their way from the capital to the ‘real capital’ or vice-versa for generations.

It is still going strong, with its location fortunately not far from the M8 motorway, and is the venue for the auction of a 56.6-acre farm in a week’s time, on Thursday, October 27.
