One of the local groups opposed to plans for a new network of pylons are broadly welcoming a review of the Eirgrid proposals.
It emerged on Friday that the pylon corridor planned for Carlow and Kilkenny may now not happen.
Instead Eirgrid are looking at other options like upgrading the existing power lines.
John Leamy of Care for Clara says its certainly a step in the right direction but urged people to make their submissions as the consultation period opens until May 22nd.
