Esb

Electricity company says site not safe to live on and its counsel says Paul and Glen Oglesby are creating barriers to hinder removal of trespassers

Mr Justice Rory Mulcahy was told by John Punch SC, for the ESB, that the deadline given by a court to leave a Dublin substation site had expired. Photograph: PA WireTwo brothers allegedly living in a caravan on an electricity substation in north inner city Dublin have refused to comply with orders to leave the site, the High Court has heard.

The site is not a safe place for anyone to be living, the ESB says, and it earlier this month secured an order requiring those allegedly on the property to vacate it. Mr Justice Rory Mulcahy was told by John Punch SC, for the ESB, at Tuesday’s vacation sitting of the High Court that the deadline given by the court to leave the site had expired and the order had not been complied with.

Mr Punch said that matters appeared to have escalated and that additional barriers have been placed at the site’s entrance aimed at further hindering any attempt to remove anyone trespassing.
