A 60-year-old woman who paid a man €300 to fix her tractor that was returned to her a number of years later in worse condition, has told Sligo Civil Court she thought the man was genuine.
Carolyn Martyn of Knocknahur told Judge Kevin Kilrane she brought the John Deere tractor to Henry Hunt, also of Knocknahur, a number of years ago to fix it.
She said Hunt has a garage at the side of his brother s house and she paid him €300 and she said she trusted him.
Over the past two years the tractor was not fixed by him and in October last year she sought a court application to have the tractor returned to her.
