What can be done to resurrect what is a very important item of infrastructure for the country? It is not just important for Mayo but for the entire country. It is one of the first HE CHP plants to be planned but many more could come on stream in the future if it is successful and if investors can be found for similar schemes. However, potential investors would run a mile from such a scheme based on what we have heard today. Investors would have no confidence in the system given that an application for this project was submitted in 2012 and that those involved were facing bankruptcy by 2018.
