Farmers vow to continue fight against power lines

FARMERS in Bantry have vowed to continue their opposition to ESB plans to erect overhead power lines to serve a wind farm.

Bantry Concerned Action Group, representing local people objecting to the power lines, claimed a High Court ruling the previous day was very disappointing.

Mr Justice Frank Clarke granted an injunction against three objectors, Tadhg Coughlan, Susan Kingston and John Kingston, preventing them from interfering with the work of the ESB. The defendants were awarded their costs.
