Once it's up and running, you can think of the slightly shamrock-flavour power that's coursing through your house.

Irish wind for British bog lights

power to the Ireland? And these interconnects are tiddly at just 1 GW each.
And why are they building them in one of the less windy parts of Ireland?
Seems like it's just a scheme to harvest money from the tax/electricity bill payer than harvest any useful amount of energy from the wind.
There are upgrading plans afoot.
That struck me as daft, initially.
Ireland isn't short of flyboys.
And will there be any wind when we actually need the power?
Slight flaw in the plan. They're not building it close enough to the Dail for that.
presumably because it's the least pretty bit and thus the place where they have some hope of getting built
