To mark this milestone, Emer Coyle from Beauchamps speaks to Mary Fahy, senior auctions sales negotiator with O'Donnellan & Joyce Auctioneers (ODJ), Galway city. ODJ is one of the leading regional auction houses involved in online property auctions. Mary has extensive experience in property auctions, having joined ODJ in 1995, and manages the ODJ auction sales since 2005.
