An innocent farmer who claimed he was tasered twice by gardaí searching for an illegal gun in Co Cork has settled a High Court action brought over the alleged incident.

Thomas Browne (54) had claimed he was “unlawfully assaulted and battered and falsely imprisoned” by members of the Armed Support Unit while he was working in a shed on his farm on December 14, 2015.
