The protests at the centre of action began earlier this year following an RTÉ television exposé of certain practices in the greyhound industry. The defendants are Laura Broxson and Tawnie Ocampo of Burnell Green, Northern Cross, Malahide, Co Dublin, Catherine Wood of East Wall Ringsend, Bernie Wright Foxhaven, Shallon, The Ward, Co Dublin and Conor Brady and Noiren Carrigg both of Carnoustie, Annaghlong, Gorey, in Co Wexford.
The action returned before the High Court yesterday when Rossa Fanning SC for the track’s operators said his side wants the injunction continued, but on modified terms from what had previously been granted.Counsel said that based on the contents of sworn statements his side were prepared to accept undertakings from the defendants that would allow protests to continue if certain conditions applied.
