Signs threatening to shoot "trespassers" erected on farmland, High Court hears
Summary
In a High Court hearing, John B. Dockrell Ltd, a vegetable grower, alleged that Mr John Kinsella had trespassed on approximately 150 acres of land purchased in June 2017 in Ferns, Co. Wexford. Dockrell claimed Kinsella entered the property without permission, ploughed the fields, chained gates, placed large concrete blocks, and used vehicles to block the entrance. A vehicle used to block the entrance was impounded by the Gardai, later retrieved after a fine, and repositioned in front of the entrance, causing financial loss to the company. Dockrell secured an ex‑parte temporary injunction preventing Kinsella from coming within 100 metres of the land at Lodgewood and restraining him from interfering with the plaintiff's quiet enjoyment. The injunction remains pending while the case returns to court later in the month. Ms Justice Carmel Stewart upheld the injunction and deemed service on Kinsella effective. The matter is set to return before the courts later this month.
