Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

General Oversight of EirGrid: Discussion

Mr. Mark Foley:

I will let my colleague answer that question but what I will say to Deputy Kenny is that we have made enormous progress in the past three years. While we have problems, and every developer and Irish infrastructure has problems in this space, we are very confident in the decisions we have made in the community engagement on the ground with regard to social acceptance that we can make huge progress on this plan. This is the biggest capital programme in the State this decade when one adds it all up. EirGrid-ESB on electricity transformation is arguably the biggest in the history of the State. Mr. Mahon will speak to some of the specifics now.
