More than 170 landowners are in line to earn about €600 a year in a maintenance scheme announced by Kerry County Council for the proposed South Kerry Greenway.

Maintenance offer to Kerry greenway landowners

Noel Spillane, CEO of the South Kerry Development Partnership Ltd (SKDP), appealed to landowners opposing the greenway to reconsider their position, in view of the proposed maintenance scheme, and the economic importance of the project.

Referring to compulsory purchase orders opposed by farmers, Mr Spillane said: “A thorough consultation process by Kerry County Council, supported by SKDP, failed to secure the agreement of all landowners required, so unfortunately Kerry County Council have no alternative but to proceed with the CPO process if the Greenway is to proceed”.
