Ms Maria O'Dwyer:
I think that was a number that was reported in the media, but it is not a number that we actually provided. There are 500 landowners along a route of 172 km. We have to acquire 50 ha in permanent land-take for the project as well. We had negotiations with the IFA and the ICMSA and we agreed a voluntary wayleave package for the landowners along the route. Those offers went out to them in July. They are having a very successful rate in terms of those applications being accepted at the minute.
