Anne Rabbitte (Fianna Fail)

I come from Portumna where we have the Coolpowra transmission site. We also have one in Cashla in Athenry. We have such a dearth of energy, which I totally understand. I am trying, for our community, to understand how many times switchgear energy has been used. What is the need? When you are building a 440 kVA generator in the likes of Portumna and it has to transmit enough power for 740,000 houses, I have to know that there is a need for that for a community to be able to support it.
