CREDIT where it is due. The Goffs Land Rover Sale was held without a hitch, though not it would appear with the full blessing of all. Some local residents were critical of the fact that the sale was being held, given that there were Government restrictions in place in Kildare, along with two other counties.

While to the uninitiated there might have been some cause for concern, the fact that Goffs implemented the strictest of protocols should have eased these worries. Speaking from my own personal attendance at the sale, and my observations on the day, every possible care was taken to ensure the safety of all on the grounds. No stone was left unturned, and within an hour of my arrival I even had a text reminder that social distancing was to be maintained, and masks must be worn both indoors and outdoors.
