Connacht family fail in initial High Court bid to stop neighbouring farmers spreading slurry and pesticides
"Family claimed they risked 'death' if they didn't get immediate prohibitive injunction"
"The High Court has dismissed an urgent application brought by a family in Connacht seeking an immediate ban on the use of pesticides and the spreading of slurry by three neighbouring farmers."
"In a recent ruling, Ms Justice Emily Farrell said that the plaintiffs, a couple identified as MA and SM and their 15-year-old daughter, failed to provide sufficient evidence to support their serious claims that the standard farming practices were maliciously endangering their lives."
The High Court dismissed an urgent application from a family in Connacht seeking an immediate ban on pesticide use and the spreading of slurry by three neighbouring farmers. The applicants were a couple identified as MA and SM and their 15-year-old daughter. The family claimed that standard farming practices were maliciously endangering their lives and that they risked 'death' without an immediate prohibitive injunction. The court found that the plaintiffs failed to provide sufficient evidence to substantiate those serious claims, and the requested immediate prohibition was not granted.
