I am trying to understand the full list of service providers ESB networks use. I could go through all the etenders but that is slow and I think I am not getting a full picture.

Is this list available somewhere on your website or can it be sent to me if I open a Freedom of Information request?

Details of request

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2014, I am requesting access to any records held by the ESB that contain a transcript of all or part of the High Court proceedings referenced above.

I was informed by the High Court Central Office that they do not hold such records and that the parties to the case would have maintained a transcript. However, the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications has since confirmed that they do not possess these records either. 

As one of the initiators of the proceedings, I provided sworn testimony and was cross-examined by counsel representing the Minister for the Environment and the ESB. 

Given this, I am seeking any records in your possession that pertain to the transcript of the proceedings. 

If any part of my request is too broad or would require excessive resources to process, please let me know so that I may refine it accordingly. Additionally, if any records are exempt from release, I would appreciate a schedule of documents outlining the reasons for their exemption.

- With the recent storm Eowyn, the damage to electricity infrastructure was pretty serious. I wanted to ask for any information about how the Irish government coordinated with you about the storm before, during, and after. 

- I also want to know if there was any communication about storm Eowyn from either Met Eireann or other meteorological organizations to inform you of the possible danger storm Eowyn could cause. 

- After storm Eowyn, ESB informed the public that the cost of the damage to equipment and infrastructure was so great that they would need to pass on the cost to the customers. Can you please tell me how much the suspected cost of damages to fix everything that storm Eowyn caused? I would also like to ask for the profits that ESB has made since 2020 until now.
