A security guard allegedly attacked by a large group of men at a repossessed farmhouse has told a jury that one of the defendants previously assaulted him at another house eviction.
Ian Gordon, one of four men allegedly assaulted and falsely imprisoned in the early morning of December 16, 2018, also testified that he was forced to eat the faeces from a guard dog that had been severely injured and lost control of its bowels.
It's the State's case that at around 5am on December 16, 2018, a group of approximately 30 people, some wearing balaclavas, arrived at the rural property at Falsk outside Strokestown, Co Roscommon armed with chains, pickaxe handles, a meat cleaver, baseball bats and a hurley.
