Land sale nets €405,000 for Wexford Board

Wexford GAA officials welcomed the sale of almost 26 acres of land which brought in a high price of €405,000.

The parcel of land which is adjoining the Centre of Excellence at Ferns was recently put up for sale by the county board in an effort to ease his current financial position.

The auction was given the go-ahead by the board at their monthly meeting on Tuesday night last despite a last ditch objection from the former chairman, Ger Doyle, who is a trustee of the land.
