Galway senator pushes for powerlines to go underground
Galway Bay fm newsroom – Pylons could become a thing of the past on Galway’s rural landscape if new legislation is passed.
In the Seanad this week, Senator Rónán Mullen proposed a motion that high voltage electricity cables be laid underground.
The motion was defeated by one vote.
Now Senator Mullen says he will bring forward legislation requiring that the voltage lines be buried underground where physically possible.
Senator Mullen says there are many local groups who support lines being placed underground.
