Land and milk quota in south Cork

THE Sisters of Mercy are not departed — or gone.

But the south Cork branch of the order are about to dispose of some of their land bank, including this pasture and tillage farm at Ballindeasig, Nohoval, Co Cork.

Flanking the sisters’ Tabor Lodge facility, a well-known rehabilitation centre, the 115-acre farm is laid out in two blocks surrounding the residential care centre.
