"The billionaire won't get the huge Barne Estate - though another magnate will. And the smaller farmers will still lose out"
"That was the reaction of Tipperary farmer John Hurley when he heard that billionaire John Magnier had lost his High Court case, seeking to compel the Thomson-Moore family to sell their 751-acre Barne Estate to him."
John Magnier lost a High Court bid to force the Thomson-Moore family to sell the 751-acre Barne Estate. The Thomson-Moore family will retain ownership of the Barne Estate following the court decision. Tipperary farmer John Hurley reacted that another magnate will acquire the property despite Magnier's failure. Smaller farmers are expected to continue losing out as large-scale acquisitions concentrate land ownership. The case highlights contested rural land transfers and the ongoing impact of wealthy buyers on local farming communities and land access.
