Sinister motives claim in organic shop case

THE proprietor of the Organic Shop in the English Market in Cork accused the Department of Agriculture and Food of having sinister motives for the way in which it prosecuted him.

The case against Marc O’Mahony of the Organic Shop in the English Market, Grand Parade, Cork, was before Judge David Riordan at Cork District Court yesterday.

The defendant’s solicitor, Veronica Neville, made the allegation against the department and said that a delay issue might be judicially reviewed in the High Court.
