North-South Interconnector
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-27
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

There is now an indication the CRU will act on section 45 of the 1999 electricity Act to move for a CPO of lands and will outline the process in that regard in the coming weeks. That is a recipe for conflict, in my opinion. If the Minister wants to see this project delivered he needs to go to plan B at this stage. The project will not be delivered in the way that EirGrid or the Minister currently see it.
