A newlywed couple, their parents and two local businesses are to appear before Longford Circuit Court this afternoon following a wedding party that breached a court order and Covid-19 health restrictions.
A large marquee was set up on council land adjacent to a halting site on the Strokestown road last week, with over 100 people attending a post wedding party, breaching the order obtained by Longford County Council to stop the event.
At a special sitting of the court last week, Judge Keenan Johnson branded the gathering as an 'outrageous and scandalous breach' of the court's ruling.
Those involved in the case are to appear before Judge Johnson at Longford Court House at 2pm today.
