Demolition of the Arigna ESB Power Station
"An entire rural area in the west must die" Leitrim Observer, January, 1990.
In the late 1950's E.S.B built their (15MN)coal fired power station in Arigna, it had a projected life span of just 25 years. In the 1970's E.S.B considered building a 45MN station with new technologies which would be able to run off lower grade 'crow coal',which is said to be in abundance in the Arigna Mountains. The projected cost for this project was 90 million pounds and it never went ahead.
