Man jailed for contempt removed from Four Courts by ambulance after collapse
Stage: Sentence
Outcome: Mr Justice Brian McGovern today jailed Eugene Costello after a receiver, appointed by a lending institution, said its agents were unable to get vacant possession of land because Mr Costello's cattle remained on the property. The application to have Mr Costello jailed for contempt was brought by Carlisle Mortgages Ltd who secured an order for possession of the lands in 2006 after Mr Costello defaulted on repayments of loans advanced to Mr Costello in 2004.; The Judge adjourned the matter to next week.
