• Farmer Gerard Harrington fails to secure Supreme Court appeal over false cattle report conviction False report (making a false report tending to give rise to apprehension for the safety of persons or property) · Co. Roscommon

  In October 2015, Gerard Harrington, a farmer from Boyle, Co Roscommon, reported to gardaí that a number of his cattle had gone missing, giving the breed, tag number and value of each. Gardaí found several cattle, six with matching tag numbers, in a shed at Breedogue, Co Roscommon. He was convicted of making a false report at Tullamore Circuit Criminal Court in July 2021 and fined €6,500 in October 2021. The Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal against conviction in May 2024, and on 18 December 2024 the Supreme Court refused him leave to appeal.
