“It isn’t just the royal brothers who are at each other’s throats — we are at it out in Carraig na bhFear.” 

That was the comment from Judge Helen Boyle in the case relating to two middle-aged brothers that came before Cork Circuit Appeals Court where one brother claimed the other jumped on his back causing him to fall down stairs and the other said he had to position himself between his brother and his rabbits as he feared his brother would kill the pets.
