Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Shannon Foynes Port Company: Chairperson Designate (Resumed)

Mr. David McGarry:

I am not an engineer or expert on grid capacity. I have ideas. The grid will need to be strengthened and invested in, I would imagine. I am not the expert. The Deputy would need to talk to representatives of EirGrid about capabilities and what is feasible, but I would imagine that the cable in the ocean would need to be very robust. It would need to be future-proofed to a degree and then upgraded in due course from 2030.
