THE Meath auctioneer who said none of his 2005 land sales went to a full-time farmer was probably nearest to explaining the year’s buoyant rural property market.

HAWTHORN Villa Stud, the property of the late auctioneer, Sean Twomey of Bandon, Co Cork, is to take the short, sharp, shock route at auction on November 24.

DROMARD House is one of the last remaining large farmhouses in North Tipperary to come up for sale in one block, says auctioneer, Tony McInerney of McInerney Auctioneers, joint agent with Harriet Grant of Ganly Walters for this Templemore residential property.
