Is Mr. Slye saying that undergrounding is or is not an option for the Grid Link project? It is either going to be considered or it is not going to be considered. Is it true that EirGrid will only consider short patches of undergrounding with a maximum of 15 km? Is that EirGrid's official position? Mr. Slye said he understood the need for more analysis of the costs and so on and accepted that the project is three or three and a half times more expensive. Was EirGrid wrong in 2007 when it claimed that the project would be 21 times more expensive?
