Multiple cases of harassing directors and family members of the former Quinn Industrial Holdings, since rebranded Mannok, have been adjourned to await the outcome of other proceedings involving one of the alleged victims.
The matters were before Enniskillen Magistrates court yesterday (Wednesday).
James Bernard McGovern (24), from Springtown Road, Kinawley, allegedly committed three separate sets of offences in 2019.
These include a charge of breaching an injunction prohibiting harassment, followed several weeks later by two charges of harassment, and two more injunction breaches.
A defence lawyer previously advised the court all matters are denied.
The cases were collectively listed on Wednesday to allocate contest dates; however, District Judge Steven Keown learned one of the complainants is currently in unrelated proceedings, which are due for hearing in June.
In addition, Judge Keown noted with McGovern a sentenced prisoner, he will be required to attend the contested hearings by video-link, which has proved “problematic, but not impossible” in the past.
He decided to list all three cases for review in September.
