Farmer collapses during repo action

A FARMER fighting the repossession of his property yesterday collapsed dramatically in the High Court and was brought to hospital by ambulance.

The Carlow man, in his late 50s, was pleading with Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne for more time to repay a loan but then suddenly fell to the floor.

The court had heard how the farmer was attempting to block the execution of a repossession order on a loan dating back to 2004.
