According to the agents the land has ‘potential to be dramatically improved with proper management’ and represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a large land holding in one or two blocks at an affordable price’. Paddy Jordan commenting on the likely interest level indicated that ‘’it is likely that most of the interest will be agricultural related unless someone within the leisure industry sees a suitable opportunity considering its location’.
