Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

My concentration is firmly set on delivering that east-west interconnector with EirGrid. Further interconnections may well be developed down the line but my job is to help deliver that one and I am confident we can do so. It will be kept within State ownership and will be run on a flexible system that allows us to export and import as is appropriate for the market. That is the key development I am looking forward to delivering.
