The owners of Edenburn House on the outskirts of Tralee have said the property is not being considered for Ukrainian refugees, despite a statement from the Department of Integration saying it was being assessed as part of the Emergency Refurbishment (Ukraine) Project.
Intensive dairying
It was originally a tillage farm before being laid down in permanent pasture. Selling agent Eamonn McQuinn of McQuinn Property Services gives the context: “As was typical of the big switch to intensive dairying in North Kerry during the late 1960’s and 1970’s, this land was freshly reseeded, central farm roadways were constructed and a relatively inexpensive and simple farmyard was constructed, he says. The land was divided into a paddock system and was serviced with a good water and power supply. Increased cow numbers followed.” The farm has direct access from the public road on two sides.”
