No, but I suspect that they are being stoked up by guys like the Senator to cause them to fear. He even dragged in health issues. We have had power lines in the country since the late 1940s. My colleagues and I, especially me because of my equable personality, tend to agree with Sinn Féin too often and let the party away with things. The Senator cannot come into the House opposing the provision of power to the regions in the interests of economic development and then say he acknowledges the necessity for the power lines but they should be erected somewhere else.
