A clearance auction – involving a significant fleet of contracting machinery – took place on Saturday (February 2).

The sale was held close to Castlerea, Co. Roscommon. The entries came chiefly from one contracting fleet – namely that of David Connolly.

The auctioneer was Micheal Doyle.

Some of the lots were subject to VAT; i.e. VAT must be added to the hammer price. It’s specified in each caption (below) whether or not VAT applied.

Buyer’s commission was 5% (plus VAT) on lots with a hammer price of up to €10,000. It was 3% (plus VAT) on lots with a hammer price over €10,000.
