Mr Creagh, Jr. from Mallow recently visited Dromcollogher to collect the rent on behalf of Mrs Sarah Staveley. During his visit, the tenants, accompanied by Reverend Dr Byrne, came forward to discuss the possibility of purchasing the land. They proposed the same terms as those accepted by other members of the Staveley family for the remaining properties—an agreement of 20.5 years purchase, which includes one year’s rent that is currently due.

Mr Creagh agreed to convey the tenants’ proposal to Mrs Staveley, allowing her to consider their offer. The outcome of these discussions will determine whether a favourable agreement can be reached for the purchase of land on the Staveley Estate. Further updates regarding the progress of these negotiations will be eagerly awaited by all parties involved.
