A small parcel of land is on the market near Kildangan, Co Kildare. The seven acre plot is at Cloney and is being sold by Castledermot auctioneer Michael Lyng & Co. The asking price is in the region of €10,000/ac.

The land can be found by going out from Athy towards Kilberry. Once you cross over the canal bridge, there is a laneway to the right and the land is down that lane.

Scarcity of land

“This is good grassland,” Michael Lyng said. “It has about 80m of road frontage. It’s on a quiet road and is likely to be of interest to people who would like to obtain Planning Permission and build a house.”

Land is very scarce a the moment, he said. “It just can’t be got. Every day I have people ringing me looking for land. It’s hard to believe it could go that scarce so quickly.”
