Power company EirGrid is insisting that reports published by it this week indicating an emerging preferred route for its 400kV power line across the county is simply a recommendation from consultants and is not an announcement of the chosen route.

On Monday, the company published a number of reports assessing the Meath-Cavan routes, the Cavan-Tyrone routes, and an assessment of overground versus underground options, as well as the planning context and a report on the public consultation process to date.

According toww the consultants, option 3 is the emerging preferred route, which traverses a number of parishes through central Meath....

....Option 3A runs past Carlanstown and Togherstown, and 3B close to Nobber. The two line options join together in the townland of Altmush and run past Kilmainhamwood towards the proposed sub-station study area.
