Four men have gone on trial in connection with what the prosecution described as"a sustained, brutal and violent attack designed to terrorise security personnel" guarding a repossessed house in Co Roscommon four years ago.
The prosecution case is that at around 5am on 16 December 2018, around 20 to 30 people wearing balaclavas, hoodies and yellow fluorescent jackets arrived at the repossessed house in Falsk outside Strokestown, armed with chains, pickaxe handles, a meat cleaver, baseball bats and hurleys. The house and the surrounding 12-13 hectares had been repossessed by the bank five days previously and Anthony McCann who lived there and his two siblings had been forcibly removed.
