Injunctions lifted against Longford farmers

Injunctions preventing protesters from blockading and intimidating persons working or visiting a Midlands based pet food manufacturing plant have been formally struck out by the High Court.

The orders were secured last September by C&D Pet Foods, which is located at Edgeworthstown Co Longford against Fine Gael Cllr Paraic Brady of The Meadows, Drumlish, Co Longford, and Colm Leonard of Aughanoran Dring, Co Longford, by Mr Justice Tony O'Connor.
