Farmer considers hunger strike over €300 fine for intimidating walkers

A SLIGO farmer is prepared to go on hunger strike or even to jail rather than pay a court fine.

Andy ‘Bull’ McSharry, 41, was convicted in Grange District Court in Sligo last week of intimidating two walkers who had walked on his lands.

When Mr McSharry caught up with the couple, they were on a public road.
