When he is not at his desk or out meeting clients, Daniel loves farming. He is the 5th generation farming on his mother’s home place in Kilronan, outside Dunmanway. Together with his wife Karen and their 3 children, they maintain a herd of pedigree Hereford cattle. His farming background has been hugely beneficial for land owners choosing Lehanes & Associates for land sales.
