Farmer fined €5k for obstructing work of department vet
Judge Patrick J. Moran told Denis McCarthy, 67, The Island, Newmarket, Co Cork, that the only reason he was not jailing him was because of his age.
“I am concerned about your behaviour and your attitude towards the Department of Agriculture and their officers and indeed towards the guards… Every other farmer in the country allows them on their land, or most of them do,” the judge said.
