Landowners vow to block ESB power line
ESB Networks crews were erecting poles for the controversial 38Kv power line on the property of at least four landowners in the Colomane area of Bantry in West Cork yesterday. An ESB spokesman said the rest of the project should take no more than a few days.
He said the company served notice on the group’s solicitor Greg Casey - who was the legal adviser to the Rossport Five - that the ESB has the legal right to carry out the work.
