102-acre North Cork farm guiding €9,500/acre
The farm is at Brookpark and Finnanfield, just off the historic Butter Road, 8km from Millstreet and 33km from Mallow.
'We're guiding it around €9,500 per acre,' says selling agent Pat Murphy of the property, which is separated into two parts by the public road, with one section across the public road from the other.
'There are 68 acres in one block, with the farmyard and the residence, and on the other 34-acre block, there is another farmyard with a three-column shed and cattle crush. The house is a four-bedroom farmhouse which is in need of modernisation.'
The holding enjoys a great deal of road frontage, making it ideal even as an outside farm.
'For over half of the lands, we'd consider it good grazing ground,' said Mr Murphy.
'The remainder of it would need some work but it has good potential… In the main bulk of land, the yard includes a few nice stone outbuildings, a barn, lean-to and feeding bins, an old milking parlour and cattle crushes.
'A lot of the interest is local interest and we'd expect interest from farther afield as well, given that it's such a large block of land and the price guide is reasonable.'

How much would Clonmel businesses have to pay under proposed new improvement plans?
A proposal to set up a Bid company (Business Improvement District) in the town has received mixed reactions since it was unveiled at the July meeting of Tipperary County Council. Under the BID plans, businesses would pay a levy which would be used to fund an independent company, which would aim to improve services beyond what is provided by the local authority, as well as going towards initiatives such as the Christmas lights and the St Patrick's Day parade. Supporters say the scheme, already credited with boosting trade in Drogheda since 2019, could revitalise Clonmel's struggling town centre. Now, a proposal submitted to the council outlines the amount that businesses in the town would be asked to contribute if the BID proposal is successful. How much would local businesses have to pay? Under the proposals, businesses would be asked to pay a levy of 5% of their annual commercial rates to fund the BID company, with large companies being asked to pay a maximum of €10,000. Businesses with an annual rates bill of €1,000 would pay €50 a year, while those with a rates bill of €5,000 would pay €250 a year to fund the BID company. Companies with a rates bill of €10,000 would pay €500, with those paying €20,000 in commercial rates would pay €1,000. At the top end, businesses with an annual rates bill of €50,000 would pay €2,500 to support the BID company, those paying €100,000 in rates would pay €5,000, while those paying €200,000 in commercial rates would pay €10,000. The levy has the potential to bring in a total of €350,000 per year, the proposal says, with that money being reinvested back into the town centre. The 5% BID levy would be set for the five year term of the Clonmel BID company. In addition to the levy on ratepayers, the BID company would also pursue other funding streams such as public grant funding, partnership funding from Tipperary County Council for joint projects, event-based income, and EU funding and philanthropic contributions where available. "An investment businesses decide on' The BID proposal says that if implemented, it would drive increased footfall and vibrancy, revive the town's night-time economy, improve infrastructure in the area, and market Clonmel as a business and tourism destination. Fine Gael TD Michael Murphy said that the BID would help to create a vibrant town. "A BID for Clonmel would mean a dedicated, business-led team focused solely on delivering projects that matter to local traders, from better promotion to cleaner streets, improved lighting, seasonal events, and stronger digital presence. "Far from replacing Council services, a BID supplements and amplifies them — it's an investment that businesses decide on, design, and directly benefit from. It's about creating a Clonmel that attracts customers, retains talent, and makes local enterprise stronger, together,' Deputy Murphy added. However, not everyone was on board with the BID plans, with local councillor Niall Dennehy saying it would be a 'stake through the heart' of the town. "This is a B.I.D to drive a further stake through the heart of an already impotent Municipal and Borough District system – subordinate sub-committees of this plenary council with no powers and no money,' Cllr Dennehy said. "I see it as an admission by the proponents, of the powerlessness of Chamber and of Team Clonmel and town champions,' he added. The BID plans would be put to a plebiscite to all commercial rates payers in the town, which would decide if the plans are implemented or not. Funded by the Local Democracy Reporting Scheme

Cork fashionista praises ‘elegant' Rose of Tralee contestant Nancy – ‘She is a wonderful ambassador'
Nancy and the other 31 hopefuls began their Rose tour on Sunday from the Knightsbrook Hotel in Co Meath, and the cohort will be welcomed to Tralee tomorrow. During the tour, Nancy has worn pieces from Newmarket-based fashion store, Linehan's. Owner of Linehan's Fashions, Philip Linehan, said Nancy is a 'wonderful ambassador' for Meelin and North Cork as a whole. 'It is an honour for Nancy to be representing this local area as the Cork Rose. 'In Meelin, when they say they are heading to town, it would be Newmarket that they are talking about, so that will tell you how close we are. 'Nancy is an elegant lady, I have to say, and she is a wonderful ambassador, for me and more importantly, Meelin as well,' he said. Nancy has worn some of Philip's pieces throughout her time as the Cork Rose, which have garnered high praise from fashion lovers. 'Nancy is the first Rose from this area in a very long time – I can't remember the last time. 'She likes to shop local and support local, and I remember Nancy modelling for us in the past. 'If we have any fashion shows in Meelin or Newmarket, whether it's charity or local events, Nancy would always model for us, no problem. 'Nancy would always be open to suggestions, and she carries the clothes so well. 'I gave her a dress for the Charleville Agricultural Show and people were admiring it,' he said. Philip wished Nancy the 'very best of luck' in Tralee.

S&P downgrades Orsted credit rating
Orsted was downgraded to the lowest tier of investment grade by S&P Global Ratings on increasing risks to its US offshore wind business as the Trump Administration moves to halt the sector's development. It's just the latest bit of bad news for the company after the announcement of a rights issues on Monday sent shares plunging the most ever this week. In Ireland, Orsted has almost 30 wind farms in operation or development, along with two solar farms. In 2023 it entered a 50/50 partnership with the ESB to develop offshore wind farms. However, over the past few years, the Danish utility has been forced to write off billions of dollars amid cancellations and delays to projects on both sides of the Atlantic because of soaring costs and volatile policies. Orsted's long-term issuer credit rating was dropped one notch to BBB-, just one step above junk, S&P said in a statement on Thursday. It cited business challenges including the Danish company's inability to carry out project refinancing and divest 50% of its US-based Sunrise wind project. The downgrade 'can only be characterised as a clearly negative surprise,' Danske Bank Chief Credit Analyst Jakob Magnussen wrote in a note. 'We had expected that S&P would stay at 'BBB' and possibly even assign a positive outlook.' 'These expected updates do not impact our business plan,' said Trond Westlie, Orsted's chief financial officer. 'We're comfortable with our credit metrics and believe they are in a good place commensurate with solid investment grade rating.' All the firm's current offshore wind projects, totaling 8.1 gigawatts, are progressing according to plan, Westlie said in an emailed comment. S&P also noted that it had revised its view of the firm's management and governance as 'moderately negative' because of the credit impact of its 'high-risk strategy that, to some extent, current management inherited.' Orsted said earlier this week that it planned to raise as much as 60 billion Danish kroner ($9.4bn (€8.1bn)) in a stock sale to steady its finances after US President Donald Trump's policies to limit offshore wind stifled the company's ability to sell project stakes. Since coming into office, Trump has halted permitting for new offshore wind developments, withdrawn millions of acres of ocean for development, and hastened the end of renewable energy tax incentives.
