The High Court will next week consider an application to release a Co Kildare man jailed for six weeks over his “wilful, cynical and repeated” failure to obey court orders requiring him to remove 300 metres of road built without planning permission.
Mr Justice John Quirke jailed Leo Price last week for his failure to comply with three court orders dating back to 2004 requiring him to remove a road at Feighcullen, Rathangan, Co Kildare, and to restore the lands to their original condition.
Mr Justice Quirke said he would consider the matter on Tuesday, and refused yesterday to suspend his committal for a few hours.
