Only one co-op against IAWS merger
The deal is for Philip Lynch to lose, said one reliable source yesterday. Meanwhile the co-ops will get down to the task of making up their minds in the weeks ahead. Those leaning in favour of IAWS include Bandon, Barryroe and Drinagh, with Lisavaird keen to back independent expansion of SWS.
However, the four have generally acted in unison on SWS and this is a case of preference at this stage rather than serious disagreement. Whatever is decided is likely to be agreed unanimously in the end.
