Gardaí probe arson attacks on farm

Gardaí are investigating separate suspected arson attacks on a farm whose owners had agreed to buy land at the centre of a dispute between a Kildare farmer and a bank-appointed receiver, the High Court has heard.

Mr Justice Paul Gilligan was yesterday told that the family whose property was attacked have withdrawn from a deal to acquire land owned by Paul O’Shea at Davidstown, Castledermot, Co Kildare.
