24.5-acre Waterford holding due for July auction

24.5-acre Waterford holding due for July auction

Irish Examiner19-06-2025
A 24.5-acre farm is on the market with Waterford City-based Purcell Properties, but with interest building, the agents and owners have now decided to go for a public auction.
The holding is at Ballyadam, about four kilometres inland from Waterford's copper coast in a much sought-after area for agricultural land.
Given the location of this property, the next owners may even be thinking in terms of long-term potential for building a house. For now, however, the property is of purely agricultural value.
"With just a minor public road separating a small section of the lands to the east, it's essentially all in one block and all in grass.
'We're delighted to bring this superb holding of agricultural land to the market,' says selling agent Conor Purcell.
'The lands are currently laid in grass. They've been maintained to a particularly high standard and they're of excellent quality.'
Fenor village lies under 2km away. Tramore is 6km to the east and Waterford City is just 15km away.
The auction is scheduled for Thursday, July 24, at Purcell Properties' offices on High Street, Waterford, with a price guide of €300,000 (€12,000/acre).

Carlow golf ball firm Seed Golf in talks with US investment bank to raise $15m via Nasdaq ‘micro listing'

Sean Pollock Seed Golf, an Irish golf ball brand, is in talks with an American investment bank about listing on the Nasdaq to raise $15m (€12.83m). The company, founded by Australian entrepreneur Dean Klatt, is seeking to raise money at a $50m valuation as it aims to replicate its Irish success in the US market. Seed Golf has an estimated 10-12pc share of the golf ball market in Ireland. Replicating those figures in the vast American market would prove lucrative for the Carlow Tech-based startup. Klatt said the investment bank was interested in Seed Golf's 'micro-IPO' after other successes in the sector. 'They saw what we have done here in Ireland, the UK and in Europe and are looking to get on that train,' he said. 'If we can do the same thing in the States, then that revenue grows very quickly over there.' Seed Golf was negotiating terms with the bank. The idea is to launch the 'micro-IPO' the same week as The Masters golf tournament next April. 'It is quite an involved process to do it,' Klatt said. 'There is a lot of accounting and legals to be done in the background.' Seed Golf also considered listing with Euronext. Ultimately, the firm decided against it as 'all the money' is in the US. Potential IPO sparked interest in developing a small factory on the west coast of Ireland Seed Golf currently manufactures its Irish-designed balls in Taiwan. However, Klatt said the potential IPO sparked interest in developing a small factory on the west coast of Ireland. Klatt said the potential hub would help Seed in the US, with it becoming a destination for American golf tourists to visit. Seed Golf recently carried out a customer survey, with Klatt noting the majority had a handicap under 12 and practised at least once a week. 'They know what a good golf ball feels like.'

McEvaddy group seeks permission for major Dublin Airport freight hub

The application will mark the first substantial planning move that DA Terminal 3 Ltd – whose directors include brothers Ulick and Des McEvaddy – has made to start developing an agricultural site on which they have long aspired to also build a new passenger terminal for the now over-capacity airport. Site notices have been posted for the application on part of the privately owned 260-acre landbank that sits right between the three active runways at Dublin Airport. The plan includes four major logistics units totalling close to half-a-million square feet, which together would be close to the size of Amazon's huge new distribution hub near Baldonnel. The group is also seeking space for more than 360 car parking spaces on the site. Seeking permission to build the four large cargo buildings marks a new step by the private landowners to extend Dublin Airport to the west. The move by the landowners is understood to be seen as a potential first phase of a new western campus for Dublin Airport, to be linked to the nearby M2 motorway. This could include new car parks, hotels, other aviation related activities and, ultimately, a third terminal. McEvaddy first announced his intentions to use the land to build a passenger terminal more than 25 years ago. But the plans have always faced opposition from DAA and rarely more than lukewarm political support. In 2023, despite having backing from a Dubai-based fund for the project, the land was placed on the market for sale. It appeared that the landowners had given up their bid and the land remains on the market, it is understood. The landowners are understood to have had sporadic engagement with DAA about a potential sale of the landbank but failed to agree a price. McEvaddy was reported to have dismissed a bid by DAA to buy the land for €75m as 'derisory'. Planning issues at Dublin Airport have proven tortuous in recent years with a controversial passenger cap included in the planning consent for Terminal 2 still limiting growth. DAA has submitted a major planning proposal to expand the airport from handling 32 million passengers per annum to 40 million per annum on the existing campus. DAA CEO Kenny Jacobs told the Sunday Independent in a recent interview that he had discussed 'a couple of months ago' with McEvaddy a purchase of the strategic site by DAA. 'I haven't talked to him recently. I talked to him a couple of months ago. He wants to sell it at X price, we want to buy a part of it at Y price. So we'd be interested in a portion of the lands at the right price. I'm sure we'll talk again,' said Jacobs.
