Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Housing Delivery, Service and Supply: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:

I am not aware of whether there are specific plans for generators in Dunmore. It is obviously an area that was hit significantly by the storm. In the west of Ireland in general, there was devastating damage as a result of the storm. We put in every resource possible, including international resources and our contract partners, to restore people's power as quickly as possible. The overall plan around investment and trying to protect our overhead line network is part of what we are looking at for the future, to see how we invest in the network for the long term, because it is dominated by an overhead line network. We do not have a specific plan for a generator in Dunmore. It is not something that we do. In general, the investment we make is in the electricity network itself.
