A JUDGE has ordered that a West Limerick farmer now in his sixth week in prison for contempt be brought before Limerick Circuit Court tomorrow.

A GAME of ‘cat and mouse’ involving a herd of cattle continued yesterday on a west Limerick farm, the ownership of which has led to one farmer being locked up in jail.

CATTLE removed under garda escort from a farm last Thursday after their owner was jailed for refusing to leave the land have mysteriously returned to the hillside holding at Rathcahill, Templeglantine, Co Limerick.

WHAT seemed like a sequel to John B Keane’s play The Field played out on a thistle-pocked patch of land in west Limerick yesterday under the watchful eye of a force of gardaí.

A LIMERICK farmer in jail for the past week for refusing to leave a neighbouring farm, was like Margaret Thatcher — not for turning, a court heard yesterday.
