No UK-Irish wind deal 'until 2014'

Work is “progressing” on anintergovernmental agreement between Ireland and the UK, but that the deal isnow expected in “early 2014”, says Rabbitte.

As recently as this summer Dublin had signaled that a dealwould be in place by the end of the year.

At the beginning of the year the UK and Ireland signed a memorandum of understanding on the potential exportation of wind power from Ireland to the UK via subsea interconnectors.
