Hennessy Auctioneers are holding an on-farm retirement auction this Saturday on behalf of Laois-based dairy farmer, Canice Hyland.

Hyland has made the decision to retire from dairy farming leaving the farm with no use of the impressive collection of machinery he had built up over the years.

John Hennessy of Hennessy Auctioneers said: "All equipment on the farm has been exceptionally well minded which can be seen clearly in the pictures, we hope that interest on the day should reflect this.”

The auction will take place on the Hyland farm at Clough-Ballacolla, Co Laois (Eircode: R32 KX70) starting at 11.30am sharp.
