A wind farm developer has secured a temporary High Court order preventing a quarrying company bringing a petition to have it wound up over what a judge was told is a disputed debt. Patrick Leonard SC, with Fred Gilligan BL, for the company, said it is the developer of a wind farm at Glen, Knockroe, Derrysallagh and Rover in Co Sligo. The dispute arose over the storage of 33 large cable drums worth €500,000, to be used for the wind farm, at Hillstreet’s site between February and November 2017. Counsel said Derrysallagh told Hillstreet any issue concerning the storage of the cable was between Hillstreet and the civil contractor hired by Derrysallagh to carry out works on the wind farm. Following correspondence, Hillstreet brought a petition seeking to wind up Derrysallagh which, counsel said, would have a very serious effect and was an improper attempt to get money from Derrysallagh.
