Village mobilises against powerline

The meeting was told by the community association that under the proposals, a 120-160ft pylon will be constructed every 350m from Knockraha in Co Cork to Great Island in Wexford, and on to Dunstown in Kildare.
According to Eirgrid, this upgrade to a 400KV powerline “will ensure a reliable and high-quality electricity supply for homes, farms and businesses into the future”.
