Farmers shocked at closure of 'one of the best' sheep marts in Ireland

Today (Tuesday, January 29) 
AgriLand spoke with some of the local farmers who would have been attending the mart on a weekly basis to get their opinion on the current situation.
Local beef and dairy farmer Aileen McGahan explained:
“A lot of people, including myself, were shocked to hear it because at their last sale before Christmas there was no talk of it closing.
We only live 4km away from the mart and my father has driven a world of cattle to sales over the years. It will be a massive loss to the people of Cootehill town with the jobs it had created.
