Farmer sent back to jail in bitter land dispute

A FARMER was sent back to Limerick Prison yesterday when he refused to give an undertaking to Limerick Circuit Court to stay away from a 40-acre farm he claims was left to him by bachelor brothers who died without leaving a will.

Daniel Doherty, 40, of Rathcahill, Templeglatine will today be five weeks in prison for contempt of court.

Doherty was sent to prison by Judge Carroll Moran on July 29 when he refused to give an undertaking to vacate lands at Rathcahill, Templeglantine.
