"Question No 43 by Mairead McGuinness () The security of Ireland’s energy supply is becoming increasingly important for consumers, businesses and policymakers; hence the need for full interconnection with the broader European energy market. To achieve this, the necessary infrastructure needs to be put in place to ensure a secure supply of safe and reasonably priced energy. In Ireland, EIRGRID is currently in the consultation phase in relation to the Meath Cavan Power Project and the Cavan-Tyrone Interconnector, both of which are part-funded by EU TEN-E Initiative, with the EU likely to contribute to the construction phase. Locally there is concern about the scale of these proposed projects, notably in relation to the possible health implications for those living in the immediate vicinity of the power lines. Could the Commission make a statement in relation to this particular dimension of the problem? In addition, given that the power lines run for up to 58 kilometres, there is a strong argument in favour of placing these lines underground. Could the Commission outline its position in relation to this aspect of the abovementioned and similar projects across the EU? Could the Commission outline what is considered best practice and what needs to be taken into account in deciding whether such power lines are carried over ground or under ground?"@en1
