For the late‑1990s Inishbofin/Clare Island grid-connection phase, which includes the Inishbofin submarine cable between Port na hAiIle on Inishbofin and Cleggan on the Galway coast, the European Union committed funding to cover half of the project’s cost, providing grant support alongside ESB’s investment to make the submarine cable scheme financially viable.
