An 86% clearance was achieved at the latest monthly machinery auction held by Hennessy Auctioneers in Portlaoise, Co. Laois, over the weekend, the auction firm has confirmed.
According to the company, trade was “brisk” at the sale, which took place on Saturday (September 26) in the old mart in Portlaoise.
This was in spite of a “smaller crowd than usual” at the auction itself, though it was noted that online bidding was strong.
