Very helpful and informative Public meeting with the North Sea Irish Array (NISA) group at the Grand Hotel on Tuesday April 9th.

Detail was shared on the trench that will be dug taking up a lane of the road and how the cable laying will work.

All of the detail of the project is available on their website where there is a virtual consultation room with all the detail shared at the Public meeting. We encourage all Malahide Residents to inform themselves. https://northirishseaarray.ie/

There is also an opportunity to give feedback directly to NISA https://northirishseaarray.ie/engagement-area/

Malahide Community Malahide Community Forum continue to advocate for an alternative route for the trenches and cable laying to go cross country rather than down the main Malahide to Swords and Malahide to Dublin Roads.

At the same time we would like to hear constructive suggestions from Malahide Residents with ideas to ameliorate the impact locally if the current proposal, to go down the main roads, proceeds. We will share those with the NISA promoters.

Ideas so far include scheduling works during school holidays, funding a local shuttle bus to help locals access Malahide town and reduce car traffic and carrying out enabling works outside of peak commuter times.
