Farmer 'blockading' access to quarry, High Court told
Summary
Keegan Quarries Ltd (KQL) has applied to the High Court for an injunction against Mr Thomas Donegan of Newcastle, Enfield, Co Meath, alleging that he has blockaded access to a disused quarry site owned by the firm. KQL claims it acquired the land and a right of way from Donegan many years ago, allowing its staff to reach the quarry via his property. The quarry ceased extraction in 2019 but KQL intends to carry out restoration works and requires regular inspections for health and safety. KQL says that Donegan, without warning, blocked the entrance with heavy machinery and agricultural produce, preventing KQL personnel from accessing the site. The court granted KQL permission to serve short notice of the injunction proceedings on Donegan, and the matter will return next week.
