Coursing body calls EGM to agree court settlement

Members of the Irish Coursing Club have been called to an extraordinary general meeting to agree a settlement of a Supreme Court case on a land dispute that split the organisation.

The members will be asked to accept the proposed settlement which arose from a High Court case around the development of the Showgrounds shopping centre beside its offices in Clonmel, Co Tipperary.

The dispute involved the decision of the former chief executive of the ICC, Jerry Desmond, to agree to sell a laneway beside its Davis Road office for €100,000.
