More to this than meets the eye

CLIFDEN is a great place altogether, according to auctioneer Martin O'Connor, and is thriving on tourism.

It's also recognised as the gateway to Connemara and has an abundance of good restaurants and amenities.

In the last 10 years there have been a number of new developments in the town and the auctioneer is now selling a two-bed apartment on the Galway road.
