Almost 30,000 community service orders breached in 11 years, figures show
Almost 30,000 breaches of community sentences have been recorded over 11 years, data obtained by the Scottish Conservatives shows. Of those who breached community payback orders (CPOs), 8,078 resulted in the offender being handed another community sentence while 7,956 led to a custodial sentence being imposed. The Tories said the freedom of information data showed 'the SNP's soft-touch justice system in action'. Figures showed 29,544 breaches of CPOs between 2012-13 and 2023-24. Justice Secretary Angela Constance has recently spoken of the need to 'shift the balance from custody to justice in the community' as part of measures to deal with prison overcrowding. Earlier this year, Constance announced there would be an independent review into sentencing and penal policy in Scotland. The Conservatives have called for more stringent sanctions for offenders who violate CPOs. Sharon Dowey MSP said: 'These shocking figures are yet more evidence of the SNP's soft-touch justice system in action. 'Given the increased use of community payback orders, the very least the public expect is for offenders to carry out the sentence imposed on them. 'Where there has been a breach, offenders should be properly punished rather than let off the hook. It defies belief that so many are simply having another CPO issued.' She added: 'It sends a clear message to criminals that there are no consequences for failing to pay their dues, which makes a mockery of the justice system. 'These figures are yet another example of John Swinney's Government pandering to criminals and betraying victims.' A Scottish Government spokesperson said: 'Community payback orders are a flexible and robust disposal, with a consistently lower reconviction rate compared to short prison sentences. 'That's why the budget for 2025-26 includes an additional £11m in support for community justice services and ongoing work to further enable a shift away from the use of custody. 'Where a CPO has been breached, it is up to the independent courts to decide the most appropriate outcome based on all of the circumstances of the case. 'Ultimately, this may include the imposition of a custodial sentence'.

Kerry farmers on route of proposed greenway call on council to honour agreements on compensation
Farmers on lands crossed by the South Kerry Greenway are calling on Kerry County Council to honour agreements on compensation. At a meeting near Caherciveen, the Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) heard of anger among farmers about the length of time the greenway works were taking, the way the work was being carried out, and a lack of assurances about compensation. The IFA had objected to the greenway, partly because the use of compulsory purchase orders (CPOs) contravened an undertaking in 2011 to farmers they would not be imposed. The greenway finally got the official planning go-ahead in 2022, coming after the Supreme Court rejected two applications to appeal a decision of the High Court. Objectors claimed planning permission contravened EU directives on environmental impact assessment and habitats, adding not enough was done to protect the Kerry slug and lesser horseshoe bat. However, IFA Kerry chair Jason Fleming said, broadly speaking, people wanted the greenway to be built. 'Nobody is opposed to it, but it is the way the council is going about it that is the issue,' he said. Mr Fleming said the IFA was to request a face-to-face meeting with the council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland, which has so far provided €15.9m in funding. 'We want agreements honoured around the necessary works that need to be carried out, like the reinstatement of boundary walls, and which the council agreed would be done with the approval of landowners,' he said. 'We want our members to be compensated and we want to know when the greenway is actually going to be finished.' Minister of state Michael Healy-Rae, who attended the two-hour meeting, said: 'There are issues that need to be sorted by the local authority, but I believe that, through negotiation, they can be sorted. Kerry needs the greenway. It is a lifeline to the community.'

Use of farmland for proposed north-west greenway not ‘acceptable'
Farmer representatives have highlighted what they describe as 'very serious concerns' regarding the proposed Sligo, Leitrim, Northern Counties Railway (SLNCR) greenway at a meeting with officials from Leitrim and Sligo County Councils. ARUP project consultants also attended the meeting organised by the Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) in Sligo recently. Leitrim County Council, in partnership with Sligo County Council, Cavan County Council, and Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, under the auspices of Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and Department for Infrastructure (Dfl) are developing the SLNCR greenway. The proposed project is to provide a greenway from Sligo town to Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh, passing through: Ballysadare; Collooney; Ballintogher; Dromahair; Manorhamilton; Glenfarne; Blacklion; Belcoo; Letterbreen. In a joint statement, the chair of Sligo IFA, Michael O'Dowd and Leitrim IFA chair Liam Gilligan said they made it very clear that greenway projects like the SLNCR should maximise the use of public lands and minimise the impact on private lands. They emphasised that this in line with the government Strategy for the Future Development of Greenways and the Greenways Code of Best Practice. 'This is clearly not the case with the proposed Sligo/Leitrim greenway as the vast majority of the lands on the emerging proposed route are not public or state-owned lands and is in fact farmland, as confirmed to IFA by the project consultants,' the two IFA chairs stated. 'This is unacceptable and extremely challenging for the landowners.' The Sligo and Leitrim IFA chairs also outlined that the association is opposed to any severance of farms or compulsory purchase orders (CPOs) for amenity projects like greenways. Sligo IFA chair Michael O'Dowd said: 'The IFA pointed out to the county councils that the proposed emerging preferred corridor for the Sligo/Leitrim greenway will predominantly take private lands and have the potential to sever and divide a large number of the farms and this is totally unacceptable. 'Severance and division of farms will not work and must be reviewed by the councils.' Meanwhile, Leitrim IFA chair Liam Gilligan said the proposed emerging corridor put forward by the councils at the meeting is to follow the old railway route. However, he said that in practice, farmers now farm and use most of the land where the abandoned railway line was. They claim that it is no longer a rail line but rather is part of active farms and may include houses and farmyards. Some farmers have registered their ownership of the land where the railway line previously ran, according to the farmer representatives. Gilligan continued: 'The old, abandoned railway line is long gone, and this land is now active farmland, with some in private ownership, making it unsuitable for a greenway.' He has encouraged all farmers along the proposed emerging route of the old railway to check out the ownership situation and if they need to register their ownership, they should take steps to do so. As part of the Code of Practice for Greenways, project promoters can contribute a sum of €750 plus VAT towards the vouched legal fees incurred by farmers in regularising their title to the standard required, according to the IFA. Further concerns about greenway The association made a submission to the councils previously on the greenway, highlighting a number of additional farmer concerns including privacy, safety and security, anti-social behaviour, litter, animal disease, and wildlife. Representatives from ARUP and both county councils updated IFA on the project and the emerging preferred corridor, which the IFA said is up to 200m wide. It's understood that over the next 18 months, the project promoters will be working to reduce the design of the corridor down to 8-10m wide. It is the intention to apply for planning permission in the first half of 2027. Currently the project is on its third public consultation which is set to close on Tuesday, May 27. Over the next 12 to 18 months the project promoters have said they will engage closely with all landowners. The IFA said it is very important that farmers and landowners clearly outline their views, objections and concerns about the greenway during the current consultation and also in direct contact with the project promoters.
