• Shannon meat plant convicted of non-payment to farmer in Clare Unfair trading practices (non-payment of farmers) · Co. Clare

  Asba Meats Ltd, a Shannon-based Halal meat plant operated by Tarequr Rahman Khan, was convicted at Ennis District Court in December 2024 of non-payment of €10,059 for cattle delivered by farmer Pat McGrath. The firm was fined €1,000 and ordered to pay €10,163 in court costs, and the farmer was fully paid the day before the hearing. The Agri-Food Regulator is also prosecuting the firm and Khan under unfair trading practices regulations over 24 summonses concerning €576,386 allegedly owed to twelve farmers. Khan appeared in court for the first time after being directed to attend, and the case was adjourned to 20 February for the judge to decide whether to transfer it to the circuit court.
