Businessman told to remain in prison
The High Court has today ruled that a Co Offaly businessman must remain in prison over the weekend before he can make an application to purge his contempt for failing to comply with orders to hand over possession of machinery he had leased.
Last August, Donal Rigney was committed to prison by Ms Justice Mary Laffoy who ordered that he be imprisoned until he purged his contempt after rejecting his claims that the machinery was no longer in his control.
