The property will be offered for sale by public auction on Friday, 12 September, at 2pm in the Club House Hotel, Kilkenny. The sale is being handled by Pat Gannon Auctioneers, Kilkenny.

Pat Gannon also reported the sale of 18 acres a number of weeks ago. The land, which was situated at Ballycoam, Stoneyford, Co Kilkenny, was sold privately in two separate lots.

Lot one comprised 11 acres and was bid to €130,000 (€11,818/ac) before being withdrawn. It was then sold privately to a local farmer after the auction. The remaining seven acres made up lot two. This plot of land was bid as far as €100,000 (€14,286/ac) before also being withdrawn and again sold privately after auction.

Auctioneer Pat Gannon had described them as two “nice little pieces” of good ground. CL
