Quinn Group suffering 'mindless sabotage' at Fermanagh premises

The North's electricty supply board has said it is only a matter of time before someone gets "severely injured, or killed", after a spate of attacks on electricity poles at Quinn Group premises in County Fermanagh.

Two high voltage poles have been cut down, and a third burned, in attacks the Quinn Group has described as "mindless sabotage".

The Group's communications network has also been targeted at the plant on the Derrylin/Ballyconnell border.

In a statement this evening, the Quinn Group said: "The incidents damage not just the company and its customers, but also the job security of Quinn employees and the reputation of the locality."
