It's claimed a reported decline in Clare's land prices cannot be viewed in isolation. It follows a new report from Teagasc and the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland which shows that farmland in this county is now the fourth least expensive nationwide, with over 100 acre holdings available from €3,200 per acre. However its predicted that land prices across all holdings will rise by 6% this year. Chartered Valuation Surveyor David Costelloe from Costelloe Estate Agents in Ennis has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that figures here are skewed by varying land quality in different areas.
