Second wind-farm firm enters land dispute

A dispute between a wind farm company and a farmer, over an agreement about access to his land, has taken a twist, after another wind farm company claimed it also had an agreement with him.

Black Lough Windfarm Ltd has sued John Henry, over what it says is his failure to comply with an agreement to allow it access his land at Bonniconlon, Co Mayo. This is for the purpose of laying cables and ducting, so Black Lough can connect its wind farm at Tawnamore, Co Sligo, to the ESB substation.
