A recent deal between the State and the IFA will be worth millions to landowners affected by the allocated €5.1 billion spend on new national road projects between now and 2030.

Since 2001, an agreement between the IFA and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has aimed to provide additional arrangements and payments to landowners in a bid to minimise land disputes in the delivery of national road development programmes.
