Applications to commit beef plant protesters to prison struck out following agreement between sides

High Court proceedings that could have resulted in the imprisonment of people protesting outside two beef processing plants have been struck out following an agreement between the factory owners and the protestors.

Mr Justice Anthony Barr was informed in this morning's vacation sitting of the court that proceedings brought by Dawn Meats seeking to attach and have several protesters committed to prison for the alleged breach of injunctions previously granted by the court could be struck out.
