Dublin Farm Solicitor

Farming in County Dublin means farming where agriculture and the capital collide: some of Ireland's most intensive horticulture in north county Dublin alongside land under relentless development pressure. Mary Molloy Solicitors advises Dublin farming families from our office at Ormond Quay, Dublin 7.

Farming in County Dublin

North county Dublin - Rush, Lusk, Skerries, Swords and the Fingal countryside - carries Ireland’s most concentrated vegetable and horticulture sector, with field vegetables, glasshouses and potatoes farmed on some of the country’s best and most expensive ground. To the south and west, grassland and tillage holdings survive along the M50’s hinterland and into the Dublin uplands.

The legal work reflects that geography. Dublin farm transfers routinely involve land whose value is driven by zoning and development potential rather than agricultural output - which changes valuations, family expectations and how provision is made for non-farming children. Compulsory purchase and infrastructure schemes (roads, water, energy) touch Dublin holdings more than anywhere else, and site sales along the urban edge are a recurring feature of succession plans.

Where land carries development potential, the interaction between agricultural reliefs and that value is a live issue on every transfer - one we manage with the family’s tax advisor from the outset.

📍 Our Office Is in the County

The Ormond Building on Ormond Quay Upper (Dublin 7) is minutes from the M50 and N2/N3 corridors serving Fingal and west Dublin - and directly accessible by public transport for meetings around market and delivery schedules.
