    I have pretty much the same problem. I'm from south Leitrim and have spent the last 3 years looking for a bit of land to rent (20 to 50 acres) so that I could put it along with the OH's herd number and we could get a good reps payment on both pieces of land. Land in North Leitrim for renting is few and far between. Land in South Leitrim is even harder to find. A lot of North Leitrim men travel to our area to rent land cause they say that its impossible to find land on a long term lease up there. There's a guy that travels from Glengevlin (excuse the bad spelling) to beside me for 25 acres of the worst land in the parish. He pays good money for it too. That's over 40 miles each way every day just to look at 7 cows.

    I nearly had 50 acres leased in Lanesboro last march. It was fine land, 25 miles from me, I would have passed it each day going to work, so it would have suited me. There was €4500 of an Single Payment with it, but the last bid that I put on it was €14000 and the auctioneer told me that it had sold for €16000 to someone from North Leitrim. How would you ever make the money back??? I'v given up now, cause REPS is gone.

    I tried putting ads in the observer, ads in the local mart and local teagasc office, but I got nothing. A few people rang me but really only wanted to see who I was. You will need to keep your ear to the ground and put the word out there at marts and teagasc meetings that you want to rent this land. I suspect that with teh bad summer, there will be less demand on land for rent next year.

    Best of luck anyway.
