• Letterkenny farmer charged with keeping animals in breach of ten-year ban Breach of animal keeping disqualification order · Co. Donegal

  Leslie Stewart, a 75-year-old farmer from The Thorn outside Letterkenny, County Donegal, is charged with keeping, controlling or handling a collie dog, a sheep and two lambs on separate occasions in October 2022 and April 2023. The charges are brought under the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013 and concern a ten-year ban on keeping animals that a judge imposed in September 2022. Stewart had earlier served a two-year ban and received a suspended jail sentence imposed by Judge Paul Kelly in 2016. He was due to be sentenced at Letterkenny District Court in February 2024, but the matter was put back to June 4 for finalisation by Judge Éiteáin Cunningham.
