I am always happy to consider meeting requests from groups on issues of public importance such as the North-South 400kV Interconnector project.
To request a meeting, the group can write to my office either via post to Minister's Office, Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, 29-31 Adelaide Road, Dublin D02 X285 or via email to Ministersdiary@DCCAE.gov.ie.
It should be noted that this project is the subject of a statutory independent planning process currently before An Bord Pleanála. According to their website, the case is due to be decided by 21 December 2016.
As the planning process is still ongoing there may be a limit to what it would be appropriate for me to discuss in a meeting on this topic.
