There is a view put out strongly by EirGrid that the lights will be turned off in Dublin and elsewhere if it does not get the Grid Link project up and running. We know the difficulties it has in this respect and it is to launch a new public consultation. Has the Department done a proper assessment to verify the claims? When I served on the committee dealing with communications, I visited national grid facilities and there was never any indication that there would be a disruption in supply. That was at the height of the boom, when electricity usage was at a peak. Does the Department agree with the claims?
