Anger among landowners affected by Adare bypass works

Up to 200 landholdings, including 105 farms will be impacted by the road.His farm will be impacted by the new road and the reopening of the Limerick to Foynes rail-line.

"I got a shock. A large swath of my forestry had been knocked and cleared to make way for the new road. It was like a warzone. I estimate that I will lose up to 7 acres of my farm." "I have been contacted by a number of other farmers who are in similar circumstances, and it’s not good enough. It is placing huge stress on families - and what is missing is better liaison with landowners," Mr White added.

In a statement Limerick City and County Council said:"Limerick City and County Council is entitled, under its powers arising out of the Compulsory Purchase Order for the Foynes to Limerick Project, to enter on and take possession of lands the subject of that CPO in the absence of agreement for compensation.
