Venturing online to see if there were any weanlings or store lambs to be bought last Thursday evening, The Dealer got a land to see Mass being streamed live from the ring in Kenmare Mart.
The Kerry mart kicked off its 30th anniversary celebration with mass followed by a social gathering.
Sitting county councillor and mart manager Dan McCarthy was joined by a number of his colleagues as well as Michael Cahill TD.
In a nod to how the mart serves the Beara Peninsula shared by Cork and Kerry, mayor of Kerry, Mikey Sheehy was joined by his Cork counterpart, Bernard Moynihan.
Despite the political gathering on their doorstep, the Healy Rae politicians were noted by their absence.
None of the two TDs or three councillors from the clan made the short journey from Kilgarvan to Kenmare. As someone quipped to me, it’s very rare for a any HR to miss out on PR.
