Talk:ESB Group

On 16 March 2005, the ESB announced that it is to sell its ShopElectric (ESB Retail'') chain of shops, with the exception of the Dublin Fleet Street and Cork city centre outlets, to Bank of Scotland (Ireland), who will convert them into high street banks. Existing staff will be offered positions as bank tellers.''

That's funny! But what is a "high street bank"? -- Beland 03:17, 9 May 2005 (UTC)


 * A 'high street bank' is a term for a bank branch. Kiand 17:20, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

I propose to make a number of amendments to the text of this article, to bring it up to date regarding the closure of Shannonbridge and Lanesboro stations, and the commissioning of the two new peat-fired stations, West Offaly Power and Lough Ree Power, at these locations. In addition, it is not correct to say that ESB Networks operates the National Grid. This reflects a misunderstanding of the difference between the transmission and the distribution networks. --Hibby 21:52, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

I have changed some of the text in the "History" and "Companies" section to reflect recent developments. I have also changed the content of the table of power stations, and the Irish name of the company. Some further changes should be made - the dates in the table are not all correct, and Ardnacrusha, while it was the first station commissioned by ESB, was not the first power station in Ireland. The Pigeonhouse station dates back to 1906.--Hibby 00:10, August 2, 2005 (UTC) Edited to add: the changes I made are not currently reflected in the text. I will try again later.

updating ESB Group
This article is chaotic, lacking in structure and in parts difficult to comprehend. I'm planning on making some structural and cosmetic changes (pictures, links, crosslinks etc etc), that should allow other more knowledgeable editors to develop the article.howth575 (talk) 13:56, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
