‘Squatter’ cattle removed again off disputed land

A GAME of ‘cat and mouse’ involving a herd of cattle continued yesterday on a west Limerick farm, the ownership of which has led to one farmer being locked up in jail.

Sixteen ‘squatter’ cattle were removed eight days ago by the Roche family, lawful owners of the 40-acre farm at Rathcahill, Templeglantine.

A neighbouring farmer Danny Doherty claimed the land had been “left” to him but lost the claim in court.
