​The buying power of the equestrian sector was in evidence again in South Tipperary when a massive €2.425m or almost €38,000/ac was paid for the 64ac farm at Parkville on the outskirts of Clonmel.

The grass farm, which has been rented to the same tenant for forty-seven years, has extensive road frontage, is currently in grass and while zoned agricultural is situated beside lands zoned for development and close to a sub-station.
