Cavan-Tyrone and Meath-Cavan 400kV Power Lines Locating 400kV Cables in or Adjacent to Rail Beds EirGrid Document Number: CP466-ER030-00

While EirGrid is of the firm belief that undergrounding does not represent an appropriate technology
for the proposed 400kV projects or for the general development of the transmission system, in this
report, the considerations that would arise in relation to the use of the rail beds involved are examined.
