Ms Valerie Hedin:

I want to comment on the north Connacht project. As part of our new process of with engaging communities around Ireland about the need to develop the grid, we have a new six step approach. We engage with communities at a much earlier stage. We have been out in Mayo. I know that Senator Mulherin has attended our events. Our mobile unit and local office there have engaged with communities on the need for the project, and revision of the capacity of the line from Grid West to the north Connacht project. Some stakeholders are obviously looking to see where the project is going. We have not reached that stage yet because we are considering the technology points and options. At the start of 2019, we will move to the next phase where we will engage on connection points and routes. That is to come but it is not there yet.
