Does the Minister believe there was a failure to consider the undergrounding option, in particular now that EirGrid has conceded that undergrounding is feasible but that it had not examined a specific route along roads for the North-South interconnector? Does he believe it is time to carry out an objective analysis? If such an analysis was to be carried out and undergrounding was considered to be feasible, would it be possible to explore the option and would funding be provided for undergrounding if that was the case?
