'We're being treated worse than the Kinahans' - couple at centre of Meath planning row hit out as demolition due to get underway

"Officials from Meath County Council and members of An Garda Síochána arrived at the home of Rose and Chris Murray in Faughan Hill, Bohermeen, on Monday morning to execute a High Court order. For the past 20 years, the couple have been fighting to prevent the demolition of their home."

"A couple who built a house without planning permission have claimed they are 'being treated worse than the Kinahans' after their home was seized and warrants were issued for their arrest."

Rose and Chris Murray built their house in Co Meath in 2006 without obtaining proper planning permission. After two decades of legal disputes, Meath County Council and An Garda Síochána executed a High Court order at their property in Faughan Hill, Bohermeen on Monday morning. The couple's home is set for demolition, and arrest warrants have been issued against them. Throughout their lengthy fight to prevent the demolition, the Murrays have contested the council's actions, expressing their frustration by comparing their treatment to that of high-profile criminals.
