IFA to lobby for sellers to be admitted to marts

The return of in person trading at marts around the country will see a cap on the amount of people in attendance.

That's according to Longford IFA county chairman Gavin White, who says depending on the size of the facility, 20 to 30 people should be allowed back into the ring from May 17th.

Marts have continued operating through the level 5 restrictions with sales moving on line.

While virtual bidding and sales will remain part of future sales, both buyers and sellers are looking forward to getting back to in person trading.

Speaking to Lets Talk today, Gavin White says it's important that new measures will see the seller accommodated in any in person activity.
