78-acre Tipperary farm with Georgian residence to attract a crowd
The farm consists of some excellent land and a well-maintained period Georgian property. This should ensure an interest level from across the board, as the central location of the holding, between the M8 and the M9, means it is under two hours' drive both to Cork and Dublin.
Kilkenny-based auctioneer Pat Gannon describes the unique holding as a captivating country residence set amid prime farmland.
'The lands are of exceptional quality,' said Mr Gannon. 'It's accessed via a scenic, tree-lined driveway from the public road. The approach is both impressive and inviting, with expansive fields flanking either side.'
The house itself — Glenville — is also a star attraction of the holding. It is in good condition throughout, albeit in need of some modernisation. The house has retained many of its original features, including tall sash windows with timber shutters, ornate cornicing and decorative centrepieces.
The farm is being offered in three lots.
Accommodation includes entrance lobby, sitting room, bathroom, living room, kitchen/dining room, laundry, rear hallway and scullery on the ground floor. On the first floor, a landing and hallway leads to four bedrooms and a bathroom.
The property is being offered in a choice of lots, with Lot 1 consisting of the entire holding on 78.5 acres.
Lot 2 consists of 41.5 acres, with top-quality land and includes the residence and a collection of stone outbuildings. These are in need of upgrading but represent great potential with their traditional cut-stone design built around a farmyard.
Lot 3 consists of 37 acres of excellent land.
All lots have excellent road frontage onto a number of public roads. Mullinahone is 4km to the south of the farm. Ballingarry is 5.5km to the north and Callan in Co Kilkenny lies 14km to the east of the farm.
This is a unique property that will surely attract a crowd on the day, with an overall price guide of €1.5m.

Moy Park fined for failing to comply with pollution prevention permit
Poultry company Moy Park has been fined a total of £4,000 for failing to comply with conditions of its pollution prevention and control permit at its facility at Larne Road, Ballymena. The company pleaded guilty to the charges at Ballymena Magistrates' Court yesterday (Wednesday, July 23). The court heard that between July 1, 2024 and July 11, 2024, officers from the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) inspected the Co. Antrim site and observed multiple breaches of the permit contrary to Regulation 36(1)(b) of the Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2013. The court was told that the offences included: Failure to handle and store animal by products within suitably leak proof covered receptacles; Failure to maintain all plant and equipment in good operating condition; Failure to store all Category 3 materials in enclosed bins; Failure to notify the chief inspector without delay of any fugitive emissions which had caused, was causing or may have caused significant pollution. The court directed that Moy Park must pay the order in full within three months of the hearing date. In a statement issued by Moy Park, the company said that "the proceedings related to historic issues over a short period in the run up to the busy July bank holiday in Northern Ireland last year". "All issues were rectified to the satisfaction of the regulator shortly after the incident dates. "In addition, the site has benefited from a continuing programme of site investment and production improvement works to eliminate the risk of reoccurrence. "As confirmed by the court, no actual pollution occurred," the company added. In October, Moy Park reported revenue of £2.03 billion for 2023, up 10.7% on the previous year (£1.83 billion). Moy Park, which is Northern Ireland's largest private sector business and one of Europe's leading poultry producers, also said that operating profits rose by 151% to £75.3 million (2022: £30 million). The company, which was acquired by US-based Pilgrim's Pride Group in 2017, said profit after tax in 2023 was recorded at £55.8 million, up from £19.8 million a year previously. 'Unrelenting focus on cost control, excellent customer relationships and a culture of constant innovation in an ever changing competitive landscape mitigated some of these challenges,' the company said.

56ac South Limerick farm seeking €7,500/ac at auction
New to the market with Galway-based auctioneers O'Donnellan & Joyce is a 56-acre holding in South Limerick. The property is at Avaheen, just off the R519, west of the Feenagh village, 7km north of Dromcolliher. The holding is in a busy agricultural area 20km from Charleville and 40km from Limerick City. According to selling agent Mary Fahy, the property consists of good quality land all in one lot. 'It has direct road access, and the lands are currently ideal for agricultural and grazing purposes,' she said. The other advantage that the property may hold is the fact that it could be suitable for a one-off housing development. There are good examples in this regard in the immediate area, and it would be subject to the next owner successfully obtaining planning permission. For now, though, the agricultural land is the main attraction. There are a number of progressive farmers in the area and these days, all land is in demand — particularly good land with good access. A tributary of the River Deel forms the southern boundary, and the agents are quoting an attractive and realistic guide price of €420,000 (€7,500/acre).

Claire's, the teen jewellery retail chain, files for bankruptcy again
CLAIRE'S, THE ACCESSORY chain known to generations of Irish children, has filed for bankruptcy protection for the second time in seven years. The US-based retailer, best known for ear piercings and fashion jewellery, is struggling with falling sales, mounting debt, and the continued shift towards online shopping. Claire's filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware this week, listing its estimated assets and liabilities each between $1 billion and $10 billion (€920 million to €9.2 billion). In Ireland, the chain operates 15 stores across the country, though no immediate closures have been announced. Globally, Claire's runs over 2,750 locations across 17 countries, including outlets under its 'Icing' brand. Chief executive Chris Cramer said the decision to file was 'difficult but necessary', citing pressures from changing consumer habits, increased competition, and tariffs on goods imported from Asia, where most of Claire's products are manufactured. Advertisement Founded in Chicago in 1961, Claire's has long been a staple of teenage shopping trips, remembered by many for first ear piercings, novelty accessories, and tie-ins with brands like Disney. The chain previously filed for bankruptcy in 2018, emerging months later under new ownership, but efforts to relaunch on the stock market failed in both 2013 and 2021. Last year, Claire's formally withdrew its IPO plans for the second time, signalling deeper financial troubles. The company now has more than 25,000 creditors and is carrying significant loan obligations, including a $496 million payment due in 2026. In the past year, it has reportedly deferred interest payments and stopped paying rent on underperforming stores. Claire's insists that its shops will remain open during the restructuring process as it explores all strategic alternatives, including a possible sale of the business. It's the latest blow for physical retail shops, following recent bankruptcies at other high street names such as Foot Locker and Forever 21.
