New works to begin in East Cork as part of the €1.6bn Celtic Interconnector project

The Celtic Interconnector will provide a direct connection between the electricity grids of Ireland and continental Europe.

A number of new works are set to commence in East Cork as part of the €1.6bn Celtic Interconnector project which will bring electricity from France into Ireland.

EirGrid, which is in charge of the project, has confirmed work is about to start on laying cables adjacent to the N25 between the Two Mile Inn, east of Midleton on to Youghal. However, the cables will be skirted around Castlemartyr and Killeagh to avoid any traffic disruption in those villages.
