Cork Farmer Banned for 15 Years After “Shocking” Animal Neglect Case
A Cork farmer has been banned from owning animals for 15 years after a district court heard a Judge describing the level of animal neglect as shocking.
Denis O’Regan, (49) Dromaculling, Coachford, Co. Cork pleaded guilty to 30 charges relating to animal cruelty and neglect due to failures in basic farm management.
The case arose after Department of Agriculture (DAFM) inspectors discovered severe animal welfare breaches on his 170‑acre farm, including dozens of dead animals left to decompose.
Concerns about the farm first surfaced in 2020, shortly after O’Regan inherited the land from his late uncle.
