The surveys referred to in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 280 of 31 January 2008, are surveys undertaken some decades ago, prior to the selection of a suitable site for a pumped hydro facility and the commencement of works at Turlough Hill in 1968.

The studies were undertaken by ESB, which is best positioned to advise whether the studies can be made publicly available. The studies are not retained by the Department.
