Price paid by John Magnier and Coolmore for Tipperary's Killough Castle even higher than initially estimated
The castle and its lands were once the property of Miler McGrath, an infamous 16th-century bishop
John Magnier and Coolmore are continuing to snap up swathes of available farm ground in South Tipperary, recently adding the 527ac Killough Castle near Thurles to their estates.
It appears a sales price of €6.5m quoted in other publications was shy of the mark and the Farming Independent can confirm that the actual price that led to a Magnier handshake was closer to €7.5m.
