Farm on Ballyneale ‘estate’

A FORMER part of the big Ballyneale estate lands, near Limerick’s Ballingarry, goes under the auction hammer in mid-November – complete with a carp lake and fishing lodge.

Ballyneale House, and several hundred acres of land, was home for years to the late Lewis Gluckman, a 1980s CEO and chairman of Lehman Brothers.

Glucksman and his wife, Loretta Brennan Glucksman, vacated to make the 1990s move to East Grove House, in Cork harbour, before making their mark further in acts of philanthropy, funding both UCC’s Glucksman Gallery, as well as Gluckman Ireland House for Irish Studies, in New York.
