Cllr Pat Dunphy expressed concern at this month’s meeting of Piltown Municipal District Council at plans being considered by Eirgrid to refurbish and upgrade the ‘Great Island to Kilkenny’ electricity line.
The Fine Gael councillor raised concerns that the strengthenting of support structures and further physical infrastructure as invisaged by the plans has the potential to “destroy the area” and noted that it was his duty to raise the issue to constituents.
According to the inspector’s report “the site of this proposed development extends over a distance of approximately 49km from the Great Island sub station located in County Wexford to connect with the existing Kilkenny sub station on the outskirts of Kilkenny city.”
