Repo men were forced to strip and get into pig pen

Two men working for a repossession company were told to strip and get into a pen with a wild boar after a confrontation with a farmer, a court was told yesterday.

The two men working for a Dublin firm said they feared for their lives when they tried to repossess items at a farm in Co Longford.

They said they were allowed leave the pig farm of Donal and Margaret Connaughton only after they knelt and said a prayer.
