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.

You can listen to our discussion below, and it's available for download as a podcast or via the Newstalk app. You can also continue to let us know your thoughts on Twitter: @talkingpointnt.
