IFA president Tim Cullinan said that landowners will be allowed the option of accepting what is on offer under this agreement, and/or pursuing their own claim through arbitration, which they are entitled to do under the relevant legislation.
A new agreement has been reached regarding compensation and goodwill payments to landowners for the placing of new 110kV and 220kV overhead electricity lines on their lands.
The negotiations took place between the Irish Farmers' Association, the ESB, and EirGrid.
