Vol. 547 No. 1
731 Mr. G. Reynolds asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will consider making retrospective payments, back to 1990, for lands acquired from farmers for works carried out on national primary routes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1322/02]
The agreement with the Irish Farmers' Association, which came into operation on 10 December 2001, applies to land for which compensation has not already been determined before this date and which is not the subject of planning permission or zoned for open space, commercial, residential, industrial or recreational purposes. There is no proposal to modify these or any other terms of this agreement.
