Order to stop disruption of auction of cattle owned by 'Ireland’s Fittest Family'

An injunction has been granted by the High Court preventing anyone from interfering with the auction of 1,000 cattle belonging to Cork dairy farmers who were winners of RTÉ’s Ireland’s Fittest Family programme.

The auction is due to take place today at the farm of Peter and Tracey Kingston at Cradenhill, Nohoval, Co Cork.

In proceedings brought by Sinead McNamara, the sheriff of Co Cork, the High Court heard the injunction was sought because of fears protesters intended to prevent and disrupt the sale of the herd.
