Council set for €26m windfall

WATERFORD City Council stands to gain up to €26 million in a land sale.

New road developments have driven up the value, and utility, of a 32-acre landbank by the Dunmore Road.

The land to be auctioned for commercial development is on the newly opened seven-kilometre outer ring road/Airport Road, and is likely to see a swell of mixed development, including retail uses.
