It has emerged that a large number of submissions were made relating to the Eirgrid project by yesterday’s 5 pm deadline.
A spokesman for the company has said that while the exact number of submissions made could not be given, the total ran into thousands.
Meanwhile speaking on Tipperary Mid West Radio this morning An Taisce’s Charley Stanley Smith said that if the current government, as well as previous administrations, had produced a national energy policy which would outline clearly the energy requirements of future generations, then Eirgrid’s proposals may not have been so extensive.
