Transferring the Family Farm Clinic, Letterkenny

What to Expect

Teagasc holds a “Transferring the Family Farm” clinic at the Mount Errigal Hotel in Letterkenny on Wednesday 14 October 2026, running from 10am to 1pm. The clinic is aimed at farming families working through succession planning, walking attendees through the process and the legal, financial and practical considerations involved in passing a farm on to the next generation. Teagasc’s listing describes a farm succession plan as “essential for the future viability of your farm business,” framing the session as much a business-planning exercise as a family conversation.

Farm succession is a recurring theme in Teagasc’s advisory work in Donegal, given how many farms in the county are family-run operations where the transfer of land, herd and enterprise between generations is a significant financial and legal undertaking. Clinics of this kind typically bring in advisers who can speak to the tax, inheritance and practical business planning sides of a transfer, giving attending families a chance to raise questions specific to their own circumstances in a single session rather than piecing advice together from multiple separate appointments.

Good to Know

The session runs for three hours at the Mount Errigal Hotel in the Ballyraine area of Letterkenny. It is an in-person, advisory-style clinic rather than a public meeting, and interested farming families should book a place through Eventbrite in advance given that clinic-style sessions of this kind tend to have limited capacity. Anyone considering attending should come prepared with questions about their own farm’s situation, since the format is geared towards practical guidance rather than a general lecture.

Getting There

The Mount Errigal Hotel is on the Ballyraine Road on the southern approach to Letterkenny, with its own guest car park, making it an easy midweek destination for farming families travelling in from across the county.
