Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
3:00 pm
Mr. Mark Foley:
I have some understanding of County Mayo from a previous life. Once Bord na Móna connects its Oweninny windfarm in County Mayo there is not much room for anything else there. The north Connacht transmission upgrade is very important as it will allow Mayo to unlock future capacity for the 2020 to 2030 period. This is a vital line to give Mayo an opportunity to make a contribution in the next decade.
