Father and son charged with stabbing brothers in long-running family land feud

"Gardaí confirmed to the court that, in respect of the land feud within the family, they have had over 20 complaints reported to them since 2019."

"Judge Brendan O'Reilly commented that: 'The blood is up' after hearing that the bitter agrarian dispute dates back over 14 years."

"John suffered a stab wound which punctured one of his lungs. Jerry Jnr suffered a stab wound to his arm which damaged an artery."

"Judge O'Reilly was warned, as Gardaí objected to bail for the father and son, that they are afraid the dispute is escalating despite all sides having engaged in mediation last year in a bid to resolve the feud."
