A High Court action against a landowner who is alleged to have jeopardised work on a €300 million power generation plant has been adjourned for two weeks.

Endesa Ireland Ltd, which is in the preliminary stages of building a gas turbine power plant at Great Island, Campile, Co Wexford, obtained orders late last week against Michael Murphy, who, it is alleged, blocked an access road to the 140-acre site and interfered with security fencing in a dispute over rights of way.

Yesterday Mr Justice John Edwards was told that both sides were consenting to the matter being put back to allow Mr Murphy time to furnish a replying affidavit. Mr Murphy’s solicitor said his client would comply with the terms of the injunctions.
