The Northern Ireland Assembly’s Committee for Enterprise, Trade and Investment will visit the Moyle Interconnector at Islandmagee and meet with councillors from Moyle District Council at the Giant’s Causeway on Wednesday April 10.

The Committee is interested in visiting the Moyle Interconnector - which links Northern Ireland to Scotland - to see how the facility works.
Committee Chairperson Pat Doherty MP MLA said: “The Moyle Interconnector plays an important role in opening the electricity market and in meeting the electricity needs of the island of Ireland. We have heard much about its development during our inquiry and are delighted to be able to see it in operation.”
