Uisce Éireann has reached agreement with the Irish Farmers Association and the Irish Creamery Milk Supplies Association on a voluntary wayleave compensation package for farmers and landowners along the route of the underground pipeline it wants to lay to take water from the River Shannon to Dublin.
This follows months of negotiation and marks a significant milestone for the Water Supply Project.
The package includes upfront compensation payments for the owners of land that will be affected by the development.
