Kilkenny Farm Solicitor
Kilkenny is dairy country - expanded hard since quotas ended, supplying Tirl\u00e1n and trading through Cill\u00edn Hill - and our Kilkenny office at 2 Rose Inn Street sits in the middle of it. Farm transfers, wills, land sales and leases for Kilkenny farming families are core work for this firm.
Farming in County Kilkenny
From the Nore and Barrow valleys through Callan, Castlecomer, Thomastown and Mullinavat, Kilkenny farming is anchored in dairying on some of the best grassland in Leinster, alongside strong tillage in the south and east of the county and cattle finishing throughout. Tirlán’s presence and the mart at Cillín Hill make the county a centre of gravity for the wider south-east.
Post-quota expansion left a legal footprint we see every week: parlours and cubicle sheds built on land still in a parent’s or grandparent’s name, second blocks farmed on informal lettings, and successors carrying real operational responsibility years ahead of any formal structure. Converting that reality into registered farm partnerships, written leases and completed transfers - before relief conditions or a Fair Deal application test it - is the bread and butter of our Kilkenny practice.
Dairy holdings also concentrate value in a way that sharpens the succession questions: one substantial unit, one successor, and siblings to be provided for fairly. Kilkenny families deal with us on exactly those questions, face to face on Rose Inn Street.
