Energy Minister Pat Rabbitte has brought to Government and
published the report on the International Expert Commission
which he had established in July 2011 to “review and report,
within six months, on a case for - and cost of - undergrounding
(all or part of) Meath-Tyrone 400KV power lines”.
Announcing the publication of the Commission’s report, Minister
Rabbitte said - “I welcome the Commission’s report which fulfils
an important Programme for Government Commitment. This afternoon
I have sent a copy of the report to Andrew Doyle, T.D. the
Chairman of the Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Natural
Resources and Agriculture, so that it can be considered by
the committee. I have also forwarded copies of the report
to Eirgrid and ESB Networks.
“After a brief period of consultation, I will revert to Government
with a memorandum on Security of Energy Supply, to which Eirgrid
and the planning process will have regard.
