Case to resume against farmer jailed for refusing to vacate land

THE contempt case against a man who occupied the property of two bachelor brothers who died without leaving a will for their small holding will be resumed at a special court sitting next Friday.

Case to resume against farmer jailed for refusing to vacate land

Judge Carroll Moran has agreed to interrupt the August court holiday and will hold a special sitting of Limerick Circuit Court to learn if a west Limerick farmer is prepared to purge his contempt of a court order which has led to him being sent to Limerick prison.

Daniel Doherty, who is his early 30s, of Rathcahill, Templeglantine, Co Limerick, was committed to prison at the same court last Friday after Judge Moran was told that Doherty had failed to abide by a ruling of the court that ordered him to vacate land and a house that had been owned by brothers Edward and Matt Roche. The property consists of a small dwelling and about 40 acres.
