Monaghan farmer claims he is haunted by shooting dead of cattle by Defence Forces

The High Court has been asked to extend by up to 10 years the bankruptcy of Co Monaghan farmer whose cattle were shot by members of the Defence Forces in 2016.

The extension application has been made in respect of Mr John Hoey, from Carrickmacross, who opposes the application, and told the court he remains "haunted " after witnessing the shooting of his cattle in July 2016.
