Any North-South review is up to panel: Rabbitte
Mr Rabbitte said work was well underway on the North-South line — running from Meath to Tyrone — and it was up to an independent panel to decide what review, if any, could be done on this project.
The clarification came after Taoiseach Enda Kenny earlier told the Dáil that he wanted to see the remit of the independent panel on Eirgrid’s plans extended to cover the North-South route. This followed a meeting where Mr Kenny met TDs from the border region who pressed him for the change.
