Killarney golf course could sell for €6.5m

Killarney Golf and Fishing Club is negotiating the potential sale of one of its three championship courses to German crane manufacturing giant Liebherr.

Talks are an advanced stage regarding a possible deal which could see the Lackabane course change hands for an estimated €6.5m.

Killarney club sources have indicated that an agreement is likely to be reached for the club to lease back and manage the course on a year-to-year basis but that Liebherr would take ownership of the property.
