Deal appears likely in favour of residents demands.

It is reported in the newspapers that tentative agreement has been reached between the Bantry protestors and Windfarm builders Murnane etc. in Bantry. This follows mediation by the Irish Sheep and Cattle Association.

Essentially it is reported that the company have agreed to put the pylons underground. All that remains at odds now is the route.

A clear victory for people power/direct action at grassroots level.
