Two brothers have gone on trial charged with 100 offences relating to the alleged interference with the testing of cattle for bovine tuberculosis at their farm in west Cork almost two years ago, writes Barry Roche.

Maurice Power (49) and Gerard Power (44), Ballinadee, Bandon, Co Cork, pleaded not guilty to 10 sample charges at Cork Circuit Criminal Court yesterday.

Each accused is charged with 25 counts of introducing a substance into the body of an animal for the purpose of interfering with a TB test between March 31st and April 3rd, 2008.

Each is also charged with 25 counts of failing, as the owners of the animals, to prevent the introduction of a substance which would interfere with the TB testing.
