Ceisteanna—Questions Oral Answers. - North Mayo Power Stations.
I am informed by the E.S.B. that, with the agreement of Bord na Móna, it has decided to substitute for the two power stations which it was proposed to erect at Bellacorick and Bangor-Erris respectively a single station at Bellacorick with the same total installed generating capacity as the two separate stations originally proposed, and to be supplied with milled peat from both the Bangor-Erris and the Bellacorick bogs.
