A new report highlights the growing divergence in the Irish agricultural land market with prices growing moderately in Leinster and Munster but declining in Connaught/Ulster. The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland / Teagasc Agri Land Market Review and Outlook 2016 report says that the short term outlook remains mixed as commodity prices and uncertainty over Brexit weigh on the market. However more than half of the chartered surveyors who contributed to the report said they expect to see an increase in the volume of transactions in 2016 and also an increase in demand from purchasers. Pictured at the launch of the report are Thomas Potterton, SCSI, Geoff Tucker, Teagasc and Jason Loughrey, Teagasc.
