Brace of successful smallholding auctions in the South-East

With keen interest beforehand, in the form of five pre-registered bidders, the guide price set by auctioneer David Quinn was €15,000/acre

Some of the quality grassland at Rathanna, Borris, Carlow, sold at an online auction recently.

Last week saw the successful online auction of two holdings, totalling 22 acres, by Gorey-based auctioneers Quinn Property.

The first took place on Tuesday, February 18 — a five-acre parcel adjoining the M11, along with a solar farm at Ballyeden, Camolin, Co Wexford.
