From health concerns to the visual impact, people all over Ireland are saying they don't want pylons in their back yard. But they do want reliable - and cheap - electricity.
This afternoon on Talking Point we asked: what price are we willing to pay for power? And why should people be concerned? Sarah discussed this with her panel today and was joined in studio by:
- Fintan Slye, CEO of Eirgrid,
- Frank McDonald, environment editor of the Irish Times,
- Ossian Smyth, energy spokesperson of the Green Party.
