60ac in the Little Bare Hills of Offaly for €13,000/ac
Prime-quality grassland is near Tullamore and bounded by a railway line
The farm at Meelaghans is bounded by the main Galway to Dublin railway line.
A c60ac grass farm on the outskirts of Tullamore in Co Offaly and guided by private treaty at €13,000/ac is sure to catch the eyes of a range of customers.
What caught my eye was the townland name of Meelaghans. When Philip Byrne of selling agents Coonans forwarded me the information I presumed ‘Meelaghan’ was a family name rather than a placename, but on consulting PW Joyce, the oracle of Irish placenames, it appears the name comes from the Irish ‘maolachán’ which translates as ‘little bare hills’.
