Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

General Oversight of EirGrid: Discussion

Mr. Michael Mahon:

-----and we have a challenge in terms of how we get from, effectively, Blackrock to Poolbeg. Based on the feedback and on the engagement with a lot of stakeholders and communities, we have opted to take the cable offshore at Blackrock rather than coming up through Sandymount, etc., and to go off into the bay and then to come in to Poolbeg.
