Rural Life
Tributes have been paid to former livestock auctioneer John (Johnny) Murphy passed away recently in his 99th year in Athenry, Co. Galway.
While she has worked in marts most of her life, stepping up to auctioneer at a sheep sale at Tuam Mart was a first for Saoirse Loftus.
Willie Neilan, the auctioneer at the Mid Kerry Co-Op Mart has retired after 40 years of working at the mart.
