EirGrid Interconnector offer ‘red rag to a bull’, say landowners
The meeting also heard that compensation offers would not be to the value of €50,000, as reported, but €33,500 net per pylon, which spread over the projected lifetime of the proposed 400Kv Overhead interconnector of 80 years would amount to as little as €419 per annum
EirGrid’s latest communication to landowners impacted by the planned North-South Interconnector is a “red rag to a bull”, a meeting of affected landowners heard on Friday night.
The meeting was called after people with land along the planned route received letters from EirGrid stating they had until the end of February to accept a voluntary compensation package.
