"Everybody's talking about the forthcoming sale of the Rockwell College farms. The lands are being offered as the entire of over 800ac or in two lots: Carrigeen Farm on 270ac, with two residences; or Rockwell Farm and Dogstown Farm on 543ac with modern milking facilities."
"Beyond the fields of dreams, however, is the stark reality that any farmers interested are going to have to have exceptionally deep pockets. The entire is guided at more than €21m. The smaller farm - everything is relative - of 270ac is guided at €6m."
The forthcoming sale of Rockwell College farms offers over 800 acres either as a single holding or in two lots: Carrigeen Farm (270 acres, two residences) and Rockwell Farm with Dogstown Farm (543 acres, modern milking facilities). The entire estate is guided at more than €21 million while the 270-acre lot is guided at €6 million. These asking prices mean any purchasing farmers will require exceptionally deep pockets. A comprehensive review of taxation policy is necessary to create equitable financial conditions and improve farmers' ability to access and retain agricultural land.
