Jackson Way will have fight to get €13m

A BRITISH company under investigation by the Planning Tribunal has been awarded just under €13 million for having its land compulsorily acquired for the final leg of the M50 motorway in south Dublin.

However, Jackson Way Properties, which sought over 47m in compensation, will still have to overcome considerable legal hurdles before it is likely to receive a cent from Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.

Arbitrator John Shackleton yesterday issued his ruling in which he awarded Jackson Way €12,860,700. The figure includes €9.691m for the actual value of the land, while the remainder consists of awards for disturbance and reinvestment.
