    TWO men working for a repossession company were told to strip and get into a pen with a wild boar after a confrontation with a farmer, a court has been told.

    "He said to us that we had met the devil and he told me he would take my head off and eat it. He said if we were willing to strip we could walk down the road naked," said Mr Tighe.

    The witness, who told the court he is receiving treatment for post-traumatic stress, said Mr Connaughton instructed one of the farm workers to bring out a boar and "fire her up". He said that the animal was prodded and became more agitated.

    He added that Mr Connaughton asked them which of them was man enough to get into the pen with the wild boar. He added that the boar would show them what happens to inmates in prison.

    Mr Tighe said they continued to plead to be allowed to leave. He said they could if they got on their knees and recited the 'Our Father', which they did.

    Keeping in mind these are just accusations at this time... but fcukin' hell!! :pac:

    I have to say its probably one of the worst jobs you could have working for repossesion company

    Stripping is baconming the norm nowadays, I blame the economy for leaving people boar'd.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,015 ✭✭✭CreepingDeath


    No mention of a gun/weapon used by the farmer.

    So the 2 guys were overpowered / intimidated by one man ?
    Fairly poor recruitment by the repossession company, I'd expect them to be from a security background.

    In fairness, Longford try really hard to put them on the map. It'll be interesting to see how the likes of Carlow and Leitrim react.

    Are you for real?? Would it be "very funny stuff" if it had happened to you or a relative?? These two man were forced to strip in front of a farmer and farm worker and then put in a situation where they feared for their lives. They were degraded and terrified and clearly traumatized by what happened. But that doesn't matter really because it was "very funny stuff" :mad:

    Weird sexual humiliation of men is funny and can be ridiculed. Women however...

    Discuss.

    I'd love to eat boar.

    Sorry, it's probably a traumatic story but as soon as I read the word boar I got hungry. I'd say they're delicious with apple sauce.

    Can't wait until lunchtime.

    Baconming , I like this word

    First of all: A wild boar in Ireland???

    It could have been the farmers wife, in which case the pen was the best place for her:p

    I really don't see which part of it brings a giggle. Would you be saying it brings a giggle of this happened to two women? It's no different because its two men.

    you're right, its not funny if the allegations (thats all they are at the moment) turn out to be true

    Two men overpowered by a farmer that was unarmed? Sounds giggle worthy to me..

    Always one what? Always one who takes into account that these are real people that this happened too and not just a news paper story. The men were violated and humiliated. Excuse me for thinking that we could have a grown up discussion about what happened, rather than making ridiculous comments about how funny this clearly terrible scenario was.

    What a load of horse, sorry pigsh*te.

    Wild boars me ar**.
    Since when did we have wild boars in Ireland and since when do farmers, even pig farmers, keep wild boars.

    Maybe someone should tell the Gathering organisers that they can advertise wild boar hunting in Longford.
    Failing that they can advertise special feel at home breaks for some of the diaspora that settled in deepest Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, etc

    I do think they were probably intimated by the boars appendage, if he had been shall we say in the mood, and that is what has really caused the post traumatic stress.
    Oh and they can claim they were forced to pray and found the whole experience unsettling since they are devout atheists.

    They are angling the case all wrong.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    What a horrible ordeal to put someone through for the sake of a few items you don't own. I reckon if the victims were women the tone of the thread would be much difference. The guy is obviously twisted.

    Eh there's a few wild boar herds running around now after escaping from farms where breeds of wild boar were being farmed. It's quite a popular game meat nowadays and many people breed them.

    Oh man if it was horny, then lets just say stand back.
    Of course if it had been prodded, etc as claimed it might be a wee bit pis*ed off alright.
    A reference to a wild boar would drag up connotations in the minds of judge and/or jury of a wild pig with tusks and the like.

    Whereas this is probably what he was like.

    Where, do tell ?
    I know there are wild boars in Europe, even in Parks close to major cities.
    But in Ireland :eek:

    BTW I think the defense counsel or plaintiffs are Dara O'Briain fans what with dropping in how they were made pray the Our Father so that they could be reminded about all the tresspassing.
    BTW did they have to do the Catholic or Prostestant Our Father ?

    If they claimed they were Muslim they could really say they were sinned against.

    Few of them about, this article mentions Slieve Bloom. As for farming them, they're very popular. A friend of mine had a few of them in a specially constructed pen on his farm. They're quite cheap to buy.

    Story doesn't make a lick of sense. No mention of Assets security on the PSA website. Mulvey is listed as being licensed a year after the event happened. There's obviously no wild boar on a bluddy pig farm.
    Mr Connaughton said that he was surprised to discover people on his property repossessing items as he had worked out a deal with the company

    Presume he means GE. So WTF brought these dudes to his farm?

    They have yet to capture or find an actual wild boar in Ireland. What has been caught/killed to date are escaped pigs that turned feral rather than true wild boar.

    A lot of people have speculated about wild boar being in Ireland or made claims that they killed one, but none have been able to present any solid evidence at all of anything other than feral pigs.

    What about the post-traumatic stress these fcuking bailiffs cause people when they are issuing threats and throwing their weight around when they come knocking?

    Feed them to the pigs

    I must get an aul boar.
