10 June 2008 - Dungannon men fined £600 for unauthorised dog compound

Two men were fined a total of £600 plus costs of £170 at Dungannon Magistrates Court on the 9th June 2008 for failing to cease the use of land as a compound for keeping dogs. 

Adrian O'Neill and Patrick O'Neill both of Derryfubble, Dungannon, were convicted for not complying with two Enforcement Notices. Adrian O'Neill was fined £150 in relation to each Notice plus £75 costs and £10 court costs. Patrick O'Neill was also fined £150 for each Notice plus £75 costs and £10 court costs.

The first Notice required the removal of  a wire dog compound and the second notice requested the removal of a machinery shed and kennels, both within 28 days from which the Notices took effect.  The land was then to be top soiled and reseeded.
