Between September and November 2022, a 12-week consultation period took place as part of Step 4 (Where exactly should we build?) of EirGrids public engagement on the East Meath–North Dublin Grid Upgrade. The consultation focused on four route options and sought local knowledge and feedback relating to how these options might affect local communities and other key stakeholders. Informed by the outputs of this consultation, the route referred to as the “Red Route” was identified as the preferred option i.e. the Emerging Best Performing Option (EBPO). EirGrid then engaged with a range of stakeholders on the EBPO during the period from 29th March 2023 to 14th May 2023. This report provides a summary of engagement carried out and any further feedback received during this EBPO period. This report will be taken into consideration as input to decision making to determine the Best Performing Option (BPO) This report has been prepared by M-CO, working as EirGrid’s consultation and engagement partner.
