Vol. 134 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Allenwood Power Station.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if it is correct that substantial storm damage was recently suffered by portion of the plant at Allenwood, County Kildare, power station, and whether the efficiency of the station will be affected either in output or in cost; and, if so, to what extent.

I am informed by the Electricity Supply Board that substantial damage was caused by storm recently to the turf store crane at Allenwood, County Kildare. The board state that the efficiency, output and costs of the station are unaffected.

Has the Minister got any estimate of what the damage done was?

I have not. So far as the board is concerned, I understand it is covered by insurance.
