Coursing club claims it's been 'aggressively' locked out of grounds
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 20 July 2022, the County Kerry Coursing Club, represented by David Sutton SC and Elizabeth Murphy BL, alleged that Ballybeggan Park Company Limited had wrongfully and aggressively locked them out of Ballybeggan Park, the former Tralee Racecourse, since 18 June. The club, the largest shareholder in the defendant company, claims it has no right to be denied access to the grounds or its sporting rights. It argues the lockout is linked to the company's plan to sell the land for €5 million, a figure it deems undervalued and unsupported by any proposal for accommodating coursing. The club seeks an injunction preventing further obstruction, an order for access to the land for coursing activities, and a prohibition on any adverse actions regarding the property.
