LANDOWNERS MAKE THEIR CASE AT ONE DAY N17 ORAL HEARING

Date Published: 07-Feb-2012

Proposed road realignment works along a dangerous stretch of the N17 between Milltown and Ballindine will divide land and cause huge challenges for local farmers’ management and movement of stock.

They're some of the concerns raised at today's one day oral hearing for landowners affected by a compulsory purchase acquisition as part of the N17 Carrownurlaur Bends Scheme.

Six landowners have formally objected to the required land acquisition by Galway County Council involving an area 6.3 hectares in size.
