Cork farmer jailed for punching a Department of Agriculture official
Farmer with history of violence is jailed for attack on inspector
Cork farmer Andrew Scannell was jailed
This is the Cork farmer with a history of violence who has been jailed for punching a Department of Agriculture official in the face because he didn’t want him on his land.
Andrew Scannell (64), who previously told the Sunday World he was “not a violent man”, carried out the attack on agricultural officer Jerry Herlihy last October — almost a year after receiving a suspended sentence for a separate vicious attack on a female veterinary inspector who was carrying out another inspection on his land.
