This is a 400 kV line so it will involve taking bulk transfer away form the south east where it is currently being generated rather than supporting industry in the area. Deputy Ann Phelan referred to the possibility of a sugar beet plant being developed in Carlow. This could be also developed in Kildare, one never knows. If it were developed in those locations, it would not be able to access the 400 kV line because it is bulk transfer. Is that correct?
