Brother collapses in court during siblings land dispute

In dramatic scenes, a Co Cork man representing himself in a case against his brother appeared to collapse yesterday just as his sibling was taking the witness stand.

The episode unfolded in Fermoy Circuit Court in a case involving a disagreement over land involving brothers David Roche and Frank Roche.

The case, heard by Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin, concerned a claim by David Roche for an interim court order against his brother amid claims of intimidation in the wrangle over land.
