NI Chamber welcomes Dublin’s High Court decision on North South Interconnector planning approval
Ann McGregor, Chief Executive of Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Industry
Commenting on today’s decision by Dublin’s High Court to uphold planning approval in relation to the North South Interconnector in the Republic of Ireland, Ann McGregor, Chief Executive of Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NI Chamber), said:
“NI Chamber welcomes today’s decision by Dublin High Court to uphold planning approval in relation to the North South Interconnector in the Republic of Ireland.
“Given that planning permission for the Southern section of the North South Interconnector was granted by An Bord Pleanála last December, we must now receive a positive decision from the Northern Ireland Planning Inquiry held back in February this year.
“Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Industry has for a long time highlighted the North South Interconnector as one of the key infrastructure projects that will benefit our members.
“The North South Interconnector is vital to ensure the effective operation of an efficient all-island electricity market, to exert downward pressure on electricity prices for business and domestic consumers throughout Northern Ireland, to ensure a secure supply of electricity for our industry and business and also to utilise renewable energy resources.”
