Owner to evict tenant from Blarney Castle

THE owner of Blarney Castle estate is trying to eject a man who has lived on the estate all of his life.

Charles Colthurst, otherwise known as Sir Charles St John Colthurst, Baronet, brought the ejectment proceedings to Cork District Court yesterday.

Mr Colthurst’s solicitor, James O’Sullivan, explained to Judge Con O’Leary: “Mr Colthurst is the owner of Blarney Castle estate. The cottage is occupied by the defendants as caretakers. Possession of the property is now required for further work at the property.”
