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.

Trim Swift Festival is an academic and cultural event celebrating the life, works and legacy of Jonathan Swift, and his close connections with the town of Trim. It is open to academics, students and the general public with the aim of bringing together experts and enthusiasts in an atmosphere of scholarly but informal discussion and debate. The academic strand of the festival features a programme of six speakers, internationally recognised for their work on Swift and eighteenth-century literature. Each speaker will present on a topic relating to their research and each lecture-talk will be followed by a question-and-answer session.
The festival will also feature a series of debates and discussions on Swift’s legacy as a satirist, led by notable figures from politics and the media, and there will be tours of important sites associated with Swift, including Stella’s cottage. There will also be evening entertainment in the form of dramatic performances, readings, music and song, and a closing banquet. Discuss on Message Boards

A body that will over see transport projects across the Greater Dublin area was unveiled by Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey today. The Dublin Transport Authority Bill 2008 will see the creation of a Dublin Transport Authority (DTA) that will have responsibility for co-ordinating transport in the Greater Dublin Area. This region takes in the local authority areas of Dublin city, Fingal, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, South Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow. Under the Bill, the authority will have powers to ensure major infrastructure projects, such as the Metro, are delivered efficiently, cost effectively, and with minimal disruption. The DTA will also have powers to ensure all modes of public transport are integrated. "The public have a right to expect a world class, integrated public transport system and this new authority will have the powers to make that happen. . . . the DTA will ensure that these projects are delivered to the highest standards in the shortest time period possible," Mr Dempsey said.
