Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications (Mr. Dukes)

This application was approved by my Department on 12 February 1997. The ESB will be in touch with the applicant to advise of the outcome and to quote subsidised terms for supply. As soon as the applicant notifies the ESB of acceptance of these terms, the job will be placed on the ESB work programme.
