Underground Route Option and Overhead Route Corridor Option

In response to pylon opposition.

The “preferred route” of a possible underground EirGrid cable running along the existing road network from north Mayo to Flagford in Co Roscommon.

“EirGrid has said the cable would run between Crossmolina and Ballina, down the east side of Lough Conn, northeast of Foxford and north of Charlestown, Ballaghaderreen and Frenchpark to the Flagford substation area, southwest of Carrick-on-Shannon. The company plans to hold public meetings in towns along the route next month. Both overground and underground options will then be reviewed by the Government appointed independent panel, before any further progression of the Grid West project….”

FIGHT!
