Kildare Landowners Fear Losing 60% Of Shannon Pipeline Payout To Tax

The package contains an early sign on payment, a crop loss payment and a special goodwill payment.

Landowners who agreed a compensation package for the Shannon water pipeline fear they could lose up to sixty per cent of the money in tax.

Uisce Éireann and around 500 landowners along the route through Limerick, Tipperary, Laois, Offaly Kildare and Dublin reached an agreement for the pipeline to be buried on their land yesterday.

The package contains an early sign on payment, a crop loss payment and a special goodwill payment.

Eamon Carroll from the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association has called on Revenue to clarify matters and says farmers are concerned about access to their land.
