Compensation sought by farmers for power line

The farmers say the ESB has plans for the power line from Limerick County Council’s landfill dump at Gortnadromma, near Shanagolden, to Foynes.

Local farmer, Donal Danaher said land owners met officials of the ESB and made known their concerns about the power line and advised the ESB that they are seeking compensation. “Our contention is that this is a profit making commercial venture and the farmers who are affected by the line are entitled to be compensated”, he said.
