Mr. Brian Brady:

There are actually five elements to the north Connacht project. A number of those elements have started. Not only will it release capacity for renewable energy in the west, including Mayo, but it will also add capacity in the Ballaghaderreen area. It is a good example of an integrated project that will bring demand capacity as well. The main trunk of this, outside the overhead line work and the station work, is obviously the cable project. That was put out to tender as a design-and-build project. The responses are being evaluated at the moment and the tender will be awarded in the coming months. As Ms O'Shea has said, it is due to be energised in 2028, or 2029 at the latest. The Senator will probably know the route. It goes from Ballaghaderreen up the N5 and around by Charlestown. It then takes a right turn up the N26 out to the Moy substation in Ballina.
