Contempt man undertakes to keep peace

A man involved in a legal wrangle with his family over land ownership has given an undertaking to keep the peace after he was found in contempt of court.

Frank Roche, of Ballyadeen, Castletownroche, appeared before Judge Seán Ó’Donnabháin in Bandon Circuit Court after counsel for his brother, David John Roche, claimed he had broken the terms of an injunction handed down in January under which Frank Roche had been ordered not to block entrances or exits to a farm and not to threaten anyone.

An affidavit from David John Roche relating to an alleged incident on the lands last Sunday was heard in court, which Frank Roche disputed.
