Ms Margaret Marron:

While we have never refused to meet it and probably never will, we feel we are getting nowhere. Although people are listening, when push comes to shove, a political decision could be made about this, as was made about including us in the review. It has been suggested that the people in our area are paying the price for what happened at the oral hearing when we exposed EirGrid's inadequacies and shortcomings, that it is payback time and EirGrid is not going to let it go.

We travelled to Moygownagh, where one of the Grid West sites is located, with the late Owen Bannigan - a founder member of our committee - in order to help the people there to organise. Since then, the cables at Moygownagh have been run underground but we remain in the position we occupied seven years ago. It just does not make sense. Those involved with the project do not listen.
