Up to 70 local people turned out “to comb” a field in North Kerry where 20 cattle died after ingesting lead in the past week.

DEVELOPMENT land with agricultural potential scored well at auction last week, when 11.5 acres near Kilcummin village made just under €18,700 per acre at auction.

PAT Kelly, the Tarbert-based auctioneer, says most of the land for sale in his area is “off-market”. So, with consistent demand for grazing for the area’s strong dairy industry, he expects strong demand for a farm he has for sale.
