ESB granted injunction

THE High Court yesterday granted an injunction against three objectors to overhead ESB power cables in a row involving a West Cork windfarm.

Mr Justice Frank Clarke granted the injunction after ESB counsel James Macken SC gave an undertaking on behalf of the company that they would comply with the planning permission and erect all the power lines overhead instead of partially underground as had been originally intended.

Having given this undertaking Mr Macken asked for an injunction against three of the objectors on the basis that they were resisting wayleave notices.
