Eirgrid also haven’t been very forthcoming in their consultation process with the local communities affected, something illustrated by the presence of hundreds of people in terrible conditions for a protest at Vinegar Hill in Wexford yesterday when those in attendance highlighted their vehement opposition to the erection of pylons and wind turbines.
The project has also become a political issue, with the Government recently announcing that a decision on whether or not to go ahead with it will be postponed until after local elections have taken place this summer.
The Rethink Pylons movement are urging people to oppose the project and to make their voices heard before tomorrow’s deadline by logging on to rethinkpylons.org and making a submission.
For more information on the Rethink Pylons campaign and their opposition to the Eirgrid project you can find them on Facebook and Twitter.
