Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Electricity Transmission Network: Discussion with EirGrid

11:40 am

Ms Deborah Meghan:

Earlier this year, in January, we looked to do a maildrop to give information about where people could get information on the Grid West project. It was a general maildrop to over 200,000 homes. We asked An Post to do the maildrop for us and to cover the entire study area. Within that process an element of the study area, as Senator Kelly correctly noted, corresponding to approximately 10,000 letters, missed out on the maildrop. We looked into it. As soon as we found out about it we reissued the maildrop to that area.
