High Court to decide on Friday over "fittest family" auction injunction
Summary
The High Court will decide on Friday whether to extend an injunction that prevented disruption of an auction of 1,000 cows and calves belonging to Peter and Tracey Kingston of Craden Hill Farm, Kinsale. The injunction was granted by the Cork County Sheriff, Solicitor Sinead McNamara, after concerns that members of the Land League and New Land League, including spokesman Jerry Beades, might interfere with the sale. The auction took place on 12 April and the cattle were sold, but two bidders failed to pay, raising the possibility of resale. McNamara seeks further orders to protect the collection of animals from the farm and to prevent bidding that could frustrate the sale. Beades, representing himself, disputed the injunction's validity, claiming no connection to the Kingstons and that the protest was peaceful. During the hearing, heated exchanges occurred between Beades and Judge Gilligan, who warned that further derogatory remarks would result in his removal from the court.
