Neighbour put camera facing minister’s home

A government minister has recalled how an neighbour installed a camera directly facing his home at a time when it was publicly known he was receiving death threats.

Alan Kelly, minister for public transport, was giving evidence in a civil action being taken against him and his father Thomas Kelly, by a Diane Whitehead, aged 72, who lives beside him outside the North Tipperary village of Portroe on land overlooking Lough Derg.

The case before Nenagh Circuit Court concerns access to a laneway beside Mr Kelly’s home and lands owned by his father and the plaintiff Ms Whitehead.
