Two Co Clare farmers ordered not to go within 200m of couple's home

Judge Alec Gabbett at Ennis District Court imposed an interim civil restraining order on two related Co Clare farmers, forbidding them from going within 200 metres of a couple's home after the couple alleged 'bully-boy tactics' including loitering, monitoring, and cattle being let into their land. The case was adjourned to allow the farmers to attend and contest the order.
