Mr. Slye cannot say he got it wrong - terribly wrong. I have said this 20 times, ten times, seven times at committee meetings. What is wrong with W R O N G? The man who never made a mistake never made anything. This is why he continues in fooling the people. Mr. Slye must admit he got it wrong. That is the reason we need total independent analysis now.

This year many of us were at the National Ploughing Championships in Ratheniska in County Laois. A ten-acre sterile area was maintained under lines that are there at present. EirGrid did not want tents, ploughing with horses or machinery, or people underneath their lines. Why was that?
