Businessman John Magnier leaving the High Court, Dublin, during the high-profile dispute with his Tipperary neighbours over whether they had agreed to sell him the 751-acre Barne Estate estate near his Coolmore Stud farm.

The announcement by the Government was accompanied by warnings there would be an exodus of small landlords from the market.
