Pylon objectors may seek judicial review

Opponents of a north/south electricity interconnector which would see 300 pylons 15m high being built across counties Meath, Cavan and Monaghan are likely to seek a judicial review of the planning decision.

Yesterday, Bórd Pleanála gave the controversial 140km project the green light.

A decision still hasn’t been made in the North on the application to build the 400,000 volt network on either side of the border. North of the border, the interconnector will run through counties Armagh and Tyrone.
