Pig farmer jailed for 12 months for threats to repossession men

The pig farmer who ordered two repossession men to strip naked and get into a pen with an ‘agitated’ boar was jailed today.

Donal Connaughton (55), from Elfeet, Newtowncashel, Co Longford, was sentenced to 12 months in prison at the Circuit Court sitting in Tullamore.

I know its awful to hear about two people potentially getting buggered by a horny pig, but I did laugh at this :pac:

Was he right to do it?

No tbh, those men could have suffered serious injuries

Nodin · 11-11-2013 7:06pm

....was it agitated in the bite-tear sense or the 'c'mere to me, ye fine thing' sense......

Bull**** vilifying of repo guys, they're only doing their jobs

vermin99 · 11-11-2013 7:09pm

It's time people started doing things like this more often ,in fairnous to some people . The repo guys will think twice about going into another farm

Stheno · 11-11-2013 7:10pm

Actually it doesn't say anything about how he forced them to do what he wanted them to do. I'd have thought he'd have had a shotgun or something, hard to believe two blokes just stripped off and did as they were told with no threat present?

Hank Scorpio · 11-11-2013 7:10pm

Nutter! Did he pull a shotgun on them or something? Says nothing about a gun in the article

Yes, we should do violence to people who come and remind us that we actually have to pay our debts.

Right, because the repo guys are to blame when you get a repossession order...

"while he took no satisfaction in sending a man of his age to prison, he imposed concurrent sentences of 12 months on each of the charges on which he was found guilty"

What does the age of the man have to do anything with the case???
He deserved to go to prison for what he did.
I dont think Ill ever understand some of the things judges do and say.

Yeah, why should anyone pay their debts. No doubt you'd feel the same if your employer stopped paying you.

In a lot of cases people are making a genuine effort to pay their debts.

Banjo String · 11-11-2013 7:29pm

Didn't this happen last year, or even in 2011

Haven't even read the link, but bet this happened in Longford.

No Bricktop references yet?

I see no mention of a gun or any other weapon. How did he force the two guys to strip and get in a pig pen ??

They are unlikely to get visits from repo men then....

Rasheed · 11-11-2013 7:30pm

I don't get how he made two men strip and start praying with no gun or anything.

A pig farmer would have an electric prod, maybe that was the persuader.

Did they squeal like pigs?

His farm should be confiscated and sold. And his animals destroyed.

No the Finance company instead of sending two suited, whimpers, will hire a bunch of lads, big knuckle dragging, apes like the defendant to make their not so friendly calls. They might throw him to the pigs.

You'd think it would have been mentioned though if he was threatening to sprong or prod them. All it said was they were in fear for their safety after they were assaulted. No mention either of being assaulted with a weapon either.

Maybe he just hit them a few digs then threatened to bate the shít out of them unless they did as told.
