Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
North-South Interconnector: EirGrid
11:30 am
Mr. Fintan Slye:
We have worked with Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland in terms of the draft strategy that was published and we are also in the process of finalising a specific report relating to the impact of electricity infrastructure on the tourism industry. We have worked with Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland on that. It is one of the key criteria that forms part of the planning application on specific projects. Obviously there is a general impact but also on specific projects. Mr. Fitzgerald might like to say more about that in terms of the North-South interconnector.
