Everybody wants a part of Mt Congreve

It’s been labelled the sale of the century and judging by the level of interest, tomorrow’s auction won’t disappoint.

Thousands descended on Mount Congreve, the venue for Ireland’s largest country house auction, over the weekend — with interest in the contents from the house on the banks of the River Suir at Kilmeaden, Co Waterford, both national and international.

Already, 400 internet bidders from the US, China, Japan, Chile, Russia, throughout Continental Europe, and further afield have registered to take part in the two-day sale which kick off tomorrow.
