18-acre land parcel near Tarbert attracting offers
The property is currently all in grass and is of good quality, aside from a small portion of marginal acreage in need of attention.
It's located in the townland of Tarmons East, just 3.5kms from Tarbert village – famous for its ferry service across the Shannon Estuary to Killimer in Clare. With a central farm roadway, it offers convenient access and is easily managed.
'There are two access points and it's very close to Tarbert village,' says selling agent Éamonn McQuinn of Tralee-based McQuinn Consulting.
'Moyvane is 6kms away, so I'd imagine that it will appeal to someone local. There are also entitlements that can be included in the sale, depending on what the purchaser wanted. There are 8.4 entitlements with a unit value of €175 attached to the land… There might be an opportunity for a site for a house as well.'
The price guide is a very reasonable, €180,000 (€10,000/acre), and the attractive parcel is already under offer, the agent confirms.

Tic Tac maker Ferrero Ireland says overtime claim would cost €1.1m
The maker of iconic sweets Tic Tacs, confectionery giant Ferrero Ireland, has told the Labour Court that an overtime pay demand by craft workers would result in an additional €1.1m cost and it was not in a position to agree to the change. At the Labour Court, the Cork-based Ferrero Ireland Ltd said the company has lost orders and has had to action a headcount reduction. In the case, 24 craft workers - represented by the Connect union - are seeking that overtime be paid at shift rate rather than basic rate. In its argument before the Labour Court, Ferrero Ireland stated that it is not in a financial position to implement the change requested by the union as this would significantly increase labour costs across the site at a time of decreased demand. The company - represented by Ibec at the Labour Court - argued 'that they cannot jeopardise the overall site by bringing about significant costs'. The most recent accounts filed by Ferrero Ireland Ltd show that pre-tax profits increased by 27% to €3m as revenues rose by 13% from €35.5m to €39.9m in the 12 months to the end of August last. The company paid out a €2m dividend last year and this followed a €6m dividend in the prior year. Average numbers employed last year stood at 317. Staff costs totalled €19.2m. On behalf of Ferrero Ireland, Ibec stated that while only Connect are making the claim there is another union on site who have placed the company on notice that they will be seeking this change as part of the next collective agreement. Ferrero Ireland stated that its review of what the change would cost showed it would add an additional overtime cost of €1.1m, based on the current quantum of overtime. In response, Connect submitted that it is the industry norm that overtime is paid at shift rate of pay and not basic rate. Connect stated that Ferrero Ireland has sought to rely on a no cost increasing clause in the overall pay agreement despite having agreed to this issue being processed outside of the pay agreement. Connect stated that it is their belief that paying overtime at shift rate is standard practice in the industry and they cited various examples from the food and drinks sector who are applying it. The union also stated that having agreed to separate out the issue of shift payment it was not acceptable that the employer was now trying to hide behind a clause in the agreement they had sought to extract this claim from. Connect stated that overtime within the plant is at the discretion of management so they can control the cost to the business. In response, deputy chair at the Labour Court, Louise O'Donnell recommended that the parties have further local engagement on the issue and identify possible savings that could be off set against the cost of the change, with a view to finalising this issue as part of negotiations for the next pay round.

New lease of life for Lennox's as fish and chip shop owners take over Cork City premises
The owners of a popular fish and chip shop say they are looking forward to taking over a famous Cork City chipper which closed last year, to continue the tradition of serving great food on the Bandon Road. Cathal O'Donovan and his partner, Tracey Gamble, who run Catch of the Day in Carrigaline and operate from a takeaway wagon in Kinsale, have taken over the lease on the former Lennox's premises on the Bandon Road and hope to fire up the friers within two or three weeks, creating up to 16 new jobs in the process. 'We can definitely feel the weight of history and heritage on our shoulders,' Mr O'Donovan said. 'We absolutely have big boots to fill by taking over the premises. The Lennox family were known all over for their great food - our goal now is to bring something new to Bandon Road. 'The menu will be largely the same as what we do in Carrigaline, fresh fish, chips and burgers, but we also hope to try a few new things as well. 'We're grateful to Brian, Frances and Duncan Lennox to be given the opportunity.' There was widespread shock and sadness last October when Brian Lennox announced the closure of the much-loved takeaway after more than 70 years in business. There was widespread shock and sadness last October when Brian Lennox announced the closure of the much-loved takeaway after more than 70 years in business. Founded by his late father, Jackie, the chipper had become an institution in Cork over the years. As the clock ticked down to closing day, people queued for hours and around the block for their last orders, with one man travelling from Denmark to make sure he got his last taste of a Lennox takeaway. Mr Lennox said: 'It took nine months to find a suitable replacement. It was important to us that whoever it was did fresh fish and chip, and burgers, and Cathal and Tracey are Cork-based too. 'We were taking our time to get a good marriage together, and we wish them well.' The new Catch of the Day on Bandon Road will be open seven days a week, from 3pm to 10pm Monday to Thursday, and from 12.30pm to 10.30pm Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
