Bord Gáis shows ESB where to put cables

IN his column (Examiner County, April 20), Peter Levy wrote about the restriction that the ESB’s cross river pylons were having on the Tall Ships entering Cork’s upper harbour and how this was impacting on the possibility of the Tall Ships race returning to Cork.

We all remember the positive economic impact on the region when the race last visited here in 1991.

The ESB has shown a reluctance to relocate these power lines in the past. Indeed, relatively recent erections of further pylons across Great Island clearly show the company is refusing to use new technologies that facilitate burying these cables under the harbour.
