Group ‘to keep fighting’ power line plan

LANDOWNERS fighting controversial power lines appeared in the High Court yesterday as their bitter stand-off with the ESB entered its third week.

However, injunction proceedings against Tadhgh Coughlan and Susan Kingston were adjourned for a week to allow for affidavits to be prepared.

The two were among a number of members of the Bantry Concerned Action Group (BCAG) who were served with injunctions over the weekend by Ballybane Windfarms Ltd which plans a wind farm at Dromoumeen, north of Bantry.
