Pauline Tully (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I accept the importance of this project but I am concerned about how it is going to proceed if there is such opposition on the ground.

Is there a contingency plan to deal with that? Have EirGrid, the Government or the Oireachtas committee referenced by the Minister that has oversight of this issue any other plans in place to deal with this? All I can see is strong opposition on the ground and possible legal challenges which will hold up the whole project further down the line.
