Ceist:

264 Mr. Morgan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that funds from the urban and village renewal measure of the regional operational programmes 2000-2006 have never been used to underground ESB 220 kv cables. [36163/05]

Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

I refer to the reply to Question No. 668 of 15 November 2005.

Detailed information on undergrounding of electric cables in the context of urban and village renewal projects is not available to my Department. Such projects are not however likely to have entailed undergrounding of high voltage 220 kv cables.
