An auction for 87 acres near Ennis that was called off due to Storm Emma is due to take place on Friday, 23 March. Originally, the auction was set to take place on 2 March, but adverse weather conditions meant that it was postponed. The lands, offered by DNG O’Sullivan Hurley,, are located on the Shanaway Road just outside Ennis. The land themselves were partially zoned in the original Development Plan, but were completely de-zoned in the new Development Plan. The auctioneer handling the sale, Cormac O’Sullivan, has confirmed that there may be potential in the future for the lands to be zoned once again due to the location. The farm is currently being grazed and is located in good drystock country.

It is keenly priced at €450,000, or almost €5,200/acre.
