IFA rejects proposed CPOs on the Cliffs of Moher

A draft report advised Clare County Council to impose CPO's to private landowners along the Cliffs of Moher trail if necessary

Proposed CPOs along the Cliffs of Moher has sent shockwaves to landowners all over the country.

The IFA has strongly rejected proposals that private land be confiscated from farmers along the famous Cliffs of Moher.

The IFA is reacting to a report commissioned by Clare County Council where it was proposed that Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPO) would be utilised by the council to acquire ownership of privately owned land along the cliffs.
