Meath board to object to EirGrid U21 sponsorship

Meath GAA will this week submit a formal objection to Croke Park regarding EirGrid’s sponsorship of the inter-county U21 football championships.

A letter outlining Meath’s grievances — following heated debate on the issue of the north-south electricity interconnector project at last week’s county board meeting — will be submitted to the GAA in the coming days.

Electricity providers EirGrid are in the process of attempting to gain planning permission for the controversial interconnector project which will run between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
