Approximately 37km of the existing circuit is located within the functional area of Galway County Council with approximately 27km located in County Roscommon and approximately 120 metres located in County Longford.
The refurbishment of the existing circuit within County Roscommon will be undertaken between structure IMP221 in the townland of Aghagower, south-east of Creggs village (Co. Galway) and structure IMP364 in the townland of Ballyleague. Within County Roscommon, the existing circuit extends across the townlands of Aghagower, Creemully and Aghagad Beg, Muff, Ballinlig (Baile an Loig) (ED Fuerty), Cooly (Cúil Aodha), Lissaneaville (Lios an Neibhíligh), Lissacarrow (Lios na Leathcheathrú), Brackloon (Breac-chluain), Rathbrenan, Ballybride, Carrownabrickna, Ballindall, Bohergarve, Lisnacroghy or Gallowstown, Ranelagh, Barnhill, Roxborough, Cartron (Coote), Ballynacullia, Derryconny, Cartron (Brett), Carrowbaun, Tonlegee (Tóin le Gaoith) (ED Kilteevan), Carrowcrin, Cloontimullan, Coolshaghtena, Clooncashel More, Anrittabeg, Cloonaddra, Moher, Ballyclare, Gortgallan and Ballyleague.
The development will consist of the refurbishment of the Cloon - Lanesboro 110 kV Overhead Line which will primarily include: replacement of a large proportion of existing structures, the breaking out and reconstruction of the concrete foundation and shear blocks at the majority of end/angle mast structures, painting of mast structures, replacement of insulators, crossarms, stays and/or fittings on existing structures; and the fitting of bird flight diverters and stay guards. No additional structures are proposed along the existing circuit.

The proposed development includes all other associated and ancillary site development works required for the refurbishment of the existing circuit (due to technical restraints please refer to file for full description).
