The team will be available to answer questions regarding cable construction works and to hear how members of the public can be kept up to date as works continue throughout the delivery of this subsea infrastructure project, which will allow the exchange of electricity between the two countries.
EirGrid Chief Infrastructure Officer Michael Mahon said: "As construction works commence, we want to ensure communities and stakeholders are updated on all aspects of cable construction works and what they can expect throughout this latest phase.
"This project is vital to Ireland’s energy future, and we thank the people of east Cork who have worked closely with us and have been integral in getting us to this stage of the project.
"As with any construction works, some disruption will be expected, however, this will be well managed and we will continue to provide regular updates on construction, impacts and mitigation efforts."
