Liam Gorman

Liam Gorman is a resident of Silverwood, Mountmellick, Co Laois, who has been embroiled in a legal dispute over peat extraction on a 400-acre bog owned by Bord na Móna Biomass Ltd. Despite multiple court orders prohibiting him from trespassing on the land, Gorman has claimed ancestral rights to the property, asserting that it was abandoned and has continued to extract peat for sale as cattle bedding. His defiance of court rulings and controversial actions, including erecting a sign threatening hefty fines for trespassers, have drawn significant media attention and legal scrutiny.
