Fears that a second line of electricity-line pylons could be erected across south Kilkenny were calmed at the recent meeting of Kilkenny County Council.
As part of their ‘biggest ever public consultation’ on the future of electricity in the country EirGrid representatives gave a presentation and answered questions from councillors.
The meeting heard that while a lot of infrastructural work is planned it will be to replace existing poles and lines and to secure the existing electricity supply.
Michael Mahon, chief infrastructure officer with EirGrid, assured councillors there are no proposals for new infrastructure as part of this consultation process.

Director of Services Sean McKeown explained that Kilkenny County Council engaged consultants ‘Connect the Dots’ to facilitate community engagement.
Connect the Dots is finalising its report on the process and Naomi Murphy from the company described the main points to councillors.
