I see Mid Tipp Mart manager Martin Ryan (Murt) is moving on to greener pastures.

The Tipp man is well known in mart circles and one of the youngest mart managers in the country.

I’m told news of his departure was a shock and work has already begun on finding his replacement.

Looking down the job spec in the ad in this week’s recruitment pages in Irish Country Living, The Dealer would fancy their chances at a tilt for the big job. Watch this space.
