EirGrid hopes to apply for planning permission to An Bord Pleanala for its proposed 400kV power line project (the north/south interconnector) by the end of August or early September. That"s according to David Martin from the company"s Public Relations department.

...The company expects objections to the planning application and there will be an 18 week process so Mr. Martin expects things to move early in the New Year. EirGrid is not ruling out a judicial review or an appeal through the courts that could eventually end up in the European court, added Mr. Martin.
