Dear Stephen, 

I've read the reports that Eirgrid has written to landowners in Meath Cavan and Monaghan offering them €50,000 for pylons built on their land as it wishes to complete a high-powered electricity line linking the Republic and the North. What's involved in this, and what are the terms landowners should know about?
