DEFIANT residents in a coastal commuter town have threatened to disrupt work on one of the country’s largest energy projects over safety concerns.
Homeowners in Rush, north Co Dublin, are campaigning to get Eirgrid to re-route a high voltage DC cable which will carry 500MW of power between Wales and Woodland in Co Meath.
Those opposing the €600 million East-West Interconnector, which was given the go-ahead by An Bord Pleanála last year, want Eirgrid to consider an alternative route.
