Eirgrid to notify ICMSA members ahead of aerial power line surveys

The ICMSA had an exchange of letters with Eirgrid, following numerous complaints from members about the disturbance caused to cattle by the aerial surveys, which have been carried out by ESB Networks on behalf of Eirgrid.
ICMSA president John Comer said the company has agreed to amend its system of prior notification to his group’s members to facilitate the movement of cattle away from the sites containing the overhead power lines being surveyed.
