0:00It's April 20th. Welcome to Europe News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Stormont's Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins just gave a big assurance to the Ulster Farmers Union, no construction on the new A5 road before 20. 27. No matter how the courts rule, this promise came during a key meeting with UFU policy officer Daniel Tough, and Deputy President John McClennigan, sparked by landowners pushing back. Hard on the project, farmers and locals have been vocal about the impact, worrying over land loss and disruptions that could hit their livelihoods right in the gut. Even with the legal battle still raging, this holds the line firm till at least 2027, buying time for everyone involved. So now the UFU breathes easier, eyes on the courtroom drama, while fields stay untouched for years ahead.
