The planning and development of electricity transmission and distribution line infrastructure are matters for EirGrid and ESB respectively. I have no function in relation to the siting of pylons for the purposes of electricity infrastructure development. If the Deputy has specific queries in relation to pylons in residential areas, I can arrange for him to discuss these directly with officials from EirGrid or ESB as appropriate.
